What dish is a must on your brunch table? One of my all-time favorites is smoked salmon served with my mother’s delicious mustard sauce. This is a veganized version of that fond culinary memory.

Faux lox (“smoked” carrot): Peel and thinly slice carrots. Cover with boiling water tasted with salt and liquid smoke. As the liquid smoke is highly concentrated, you’ll only need a very small amount. Read the instructions for the liquid smoke you’re using. I ended up using around 20 drops for 200 ml water. Marinate in the fridge in a closed container over night.

Mustard sauce: Mix mustard with soy yoghurt, lemon juice and fleur de sel.

Assembly: On a brush stroke sauce, wave the faux lox. Decorate with crushed sour dough crackers, finely chopped chives, dill, lemon zest and capers.
