Vegan salmon from carrots - quick & easy
Vegan Carrot Lox – The perfect plant-based alternative!
Whether for an extensive brunch, a summer party, or simply as a special highlight for everyday life – our vegan carrot lox is a delicious and sustainable alternative to classic smoked salmon. It is also excellent for Easter brunch!
The wafer-thin carrot strips are first steamed to achieve a tender, firm-to-the-bite texture. Afterwards, the refined marinade absorbs its flavor – creating the typical, slightly smoky and ocean-like aroma reminiscent of traditional salmon.
No matter if you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, or simply fancy a new, creative recipe idea – this carrot lox impresses with its taste and versatility. Enjoy it traditionally on, for example, sandwiches or toasties with (vegan) cream cheese, as a topping for bowls, or in summery wraps.
Give it a try and discover how easily you can make a plant-based salmon alternative yourself!
Natural, Delicious, Homemade
Ingredients for your vegan lox
- 3 large carrots
- 1 tbsp Nori flakes (crush Nori sheets for this)
- 2 tbsp Tamari (or soy sauce)
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp neutral vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp flaxseed oil
- 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Preparation
-
Prepare the carrots
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin strips using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline.
-
Steam
Place the carrot strips in a steamer or a heatproof sieve over a pot with a little water. Steam with a lid for approx. 5 minutes until they are soft but still firm to the bite.
-
Make the marinade
In an Oleni Mason Jar, mix Nori flakes, Tamari, rice vinegar, vegetable oil, flaxseed oil, liquid smoke, garlic powder, and sea salt.
-
Fill into the Mason Jar
Place the steamed carrot strips into a Mason Jar 1L and pour the marinade evenly over them using our funnel attachment. Close the jar and shake gently to ensure the marinade is well distributed.
-
Let it infuse
Place the Mason Jar in the refrigerator and let it infuse overnight at least, so the carrots absorb the flavor optimally.
-
Serve
Serve the vegan carrot lox on our toasties with a poached egg.
