For the Carrot Lox Marinade
  • 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce ( or tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350f (175c) and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  2. Peel the carrots and roll them in lots of salt, then place on the baking tray and bake for 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until soft. Allow them to cool.
  3. Rub the salt off the cooled carrots, then use a vegetable peeler to cut the carrots into ribbons.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the carrot smoked salmon marinade ingredients.
  5. Add the carrot lox strips to the bowl of marinade and refrigerate overnight or a minimum of 30 minutes (the longer the better as it gives more time for the flavors to infuse the carrots).
