I am making vegan smoked salmon. I have done it before but without nori and salt curing.

[JanMichael]

Just out of curiousity has anyone else ever given this a shot? My last batch was really good on bagels with non dairy cream cheese and red onions. This is a step up so wish me luck! I found a Dutch website that goes all out on this stuff.

Oh and why am I doing that tonight? I watched Salmon Fishing in the Yeman yesterday and that got me looking into farm raised salmon and how gawd awful it is for them as a species and us with all of the poisens in them. Other than that it was a pretty good movie.

1. I'd love to see your recipe. I grew up eating lox (smoked salmon) and bagels I'm Jewish

became vegetarian at age 16 started replacing the salmon with tomatoes (Not too exciting but better than nothing). That was many many years ago. Now I'm vegan.

I hope you can post the recipe or a link.

15. search for - olives for dinner carrot lox.

i made a bagel sandwich with it and it was awesome.

the hour and a half seaweed salt bake did it.

2. is salmon vegan? Who knew.

7. I think if you are smoking the salmon, it is ok. Kind of like smoking a certain type of weed.

I'll have to try that some day, though I just prefer it raw.

3. How can eating an animal be vegan

or is salmon no longer an animal?

4. It's kinda like vegan burgers

Which is to say neither vegan burgers or vegan smoked salmon actually are what they claim to be, but instead contain vegetable substitutes that mimic the texture of the meat base in the original dish while adding all the other flavors in order to produce an end result that is similar to what it replaces.

5. Sorry - missed that someplace

We are doing vegan also and have found a couple of great "fake" meat suppliers.

6. When did salmon get reclassified as a plant?

I'm confused.

8. You're inviting them as guests?

9. If you're not going to eat meat, why make your food look like meat?

I don't cut my steak to resemble broccoli.

10. You might consider posting your recipe

in the Vegetarian, Vegan and Animal Rights group. Because the rest of DU doesn't really respect us or our choices

13. for clarification the salmon is carrot. a salmon is not a plant.

carrots done right get all fishy like.

[surrealAmerican]

16. What's the texture like?

Is it crunchy?

[JanMichael]

18. Not at all. It is fishy feeling. Weird as hell but awesome. Apparently beets can do that too. nt.

17. Thanks for the inspiration!

I'm torn between doing it the long way with the slow roasting and marinating for days or that other quickie way with the nori and the roasting the pre-shaved carrots for a shorter time.

What do you suggest?

[JanMichael]

19. 1.5 hours covered with nori and sea salt (unshaved carrots).

Shave carefully and they are ready to slice (I used a mandolin). Add the marinade and chill for an hour and it is fine. But letting it sit for two days is AWESOME!

I have had two bagel non dairy cream cheese red onion and caper sandwiches so far and they are great.

[blogslut]

20. cool, thanks!

21. I haven't tried that yet.

But I have marinated carrots in order to make them taste remarkably like hot dogs.
