If you are missing smoked salmon as a vegan, this Easy Vegan Smoked Salmon recipe is for YOU!
Made with super simple ingredients, and the method is just as easy! I found it particularly well, paired with my homemade bagels, and vegan cream cheese…I mean, it’s a classic!
So, we are using carrots to make this recipe!
Yep, vegan salmon did with carrots….you might be a bit skeptical at first, but once you try it, you will love it!
Now, I am not going to try to lie to you and say “this recipe tastes just like the real salmon” – the truth is – it doesn’t, however, it’s as close as it can get for a vegan version of salmon.
The liquid smoke in this recipe is pretty essential for giving it a nice smoky flavour. You can usually get this at a health food shop, cruelty-free shop, or buy it online! I blanched the carrots before I baked them – it helps give them a softer consistency.
If you leave the ‘salmon’ carrots in the fridge for a couple of days it softens up a bit more and tastes even better!
You know what – this Vegan Smoked Salmon goes really well in a salad too. You could try it on my Black Bean Salad With Chimichurri. It also pairs really well with crackers or rice cakes.
Do let me know how you found this recipe if you try it though!

Easy Vegan Smoked Salmon
Ingredients
- 2 meduim-sized carrots peeled off the skin then peeled the flesh
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp liquid smoke I used this one
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp peppercorns
- 2 tbsp of chopped fresh or dried dill
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/180℃
- Peel carrots thinly discarding the original outer of the peel. I used a standard peeler for this. Once the carrot gets thinner it gets a bit harder to peel so I eat that bit! Steam the carrots for 5 minutes on a double boiler. Then add the carrots and all other ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Then add in a baking dish.
- Bake in the oven for around 15 minutes. Let cool and transfer to a container. Keep refrigerated. Enjoy on a bagel with vegan cream cheese!
Notes
Calories do not include the bagel and cream 'cheese'!
