VEGAN SALMON | tastes like the real thing!

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

I’ve made this recipe for fish loving family members and friends, and EVERYONE LOVES IT! Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think. Have you tried vegan salmon before?

[@Millah323]

😵You are a genius with creating this vegan salmon!!! It looks just like the😋 real thing... I don't eat soy, but will try this with a chickpea or lentil tofu... 😁Thanks for sharing...

[@angelal.4996]

I’ve never tried vegan salmon before but I can wait to try this recipe this weekend!

[@alx4animalss]

this looks delicious imma have to try this thank you so much!

[@RyuRansens]

sorry, but it is not "your vegan salmon recipe", there are tons of recreations of this exact thing, and people are at least tagging original creators and saying about where they got their inspiration from. Sam posted this back in 2021 on her personal blog. stop being rude and ignorant. there is nothing wrong in adapting different things, recipes, kitchens, diets and cultures into your own cooking, but please, don't call them 'mine' and telling how 'you' specifically worked on this :) itdoesnttastelikechicken - Sam's blog. /vegan-salmon/ her recipie

[@andreasbialek5692]

The first vegan chef to use the topic of overfishing and heavy metals in oceans in a video ! Great video and lots of love and energy for you and your channel ! 🙏♥️🙏☝️💯😘

[@nikzane]

Right!? I was already impressed with the recipe then the overfishing PSA happened! I immediately grabbed your cookbook, Jenne! You are genuinely a true gem; we need more people like you in this world!!! 💎❤ _(and I'm probably gonna end up calling you Gem now too, sorry… lol. ☺🙏)_

[@vivianhoetter]

I tried it and was a little dissapointed at first, because I always expect the exact flavors like in the real thing. Reheated it the next day and then it was really good! I think the fishy taste of the nori sheet was soaked up in the tofu. Maybe next time I will throw nori sheets in the marinade aswell :)

[@someguy2135]

Great idea! I will try that. I love nori snacks!

[@irep340v.i._state_of_mind2]

That's what the recipe I used asked for, I also used some fish base

[@rebeccaspratling2865]

Use wakami.

[@amaria164]

does it have any of the health benefits of Salmon? It looks delicious. I don't miss salmon but need to add meal options

[@RioRav]

@@amaria164 Tofu and Nori are rich in vitamins and minerals. Tofu is a complete protein, supports heart health and can help lower risk of getting breast cancer and type 2 diabetes. Nori also has the omega 3s that fish has, but you could also add things like walnuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds and edamame to your diet to get enough since most people don't eat nori daily.

[@olenfersoi8887]

A couple of suggestions: First of all, for more of a briny sea flavor, I would blend in some seaweed (kombu or wakame, or even torn up nori sushi wrappers). Second, beets or beet root powder create a dark pink color (not red, orange or yellow)...which is closer to the color of fresh tuna than salmon, that is more orange than pink. The soy sauce helps a little. But, I would add some ground turmeric, for a yellow color (& a hint of bitterness that is part of salmon flavor). Then add the beet root or powder, bit by bit, until the appropriate orange shade is achieved. Finally...while salmon contains no carbs, it has a faintly sweet taste. There is some sugar in tamari sauce but little or none in regular soy sauce...so, if that is used, a pinch of sugar can be added to the marinade. Other than that...thanks for the recipe idea.

[@seagreenblue4052]

As a vegan I find your explanation terrific for anyone who would doubt the benefit of a plant based diet. Love your approach as well as the plated dinner.

[@amandaros3]

I saw this video yesterday and RAN to the supermarket. I made it today and wow!! I can’t really remember what salmon tastes like but this was so flavorful! I made it with a vegan butter, garlic and lemon sauce to drizzle on top to really hit that nostalgia from pre-vegan days and wow! I’m definitely that person who binges on a meal for weeks until I get tired of it. I def know what’s for dinner and lunch for the next few weeks 🤣

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

I hope you never tire of it!

[@Icemario87]

Why do the taste, smell, look, and texture of murder excite you so much?

[@Alina_Schmidt]

@@Icemario87 Because we live in a cruel world that normalized this into people‘s lives before they went vegan

[@Icemario87]

[@Kariberri208]

I love how creative you can get with vegan food. I am not vegan, but I am going to try this along with a vegan crab leg recipe that I discovered. I have tried many of your recipes, and your vegan fried chicken recipe is my favorite ❤

[@munajedski]

She is one of my favorites. So many great recipes!

[@cegecej]

Can you post a link to the vegan crab recipe

[@woodlandfairy5270]

I really appreciate you throwing in that "why not real salmon?" part at the end!

[@veganinchina]

I love this recipe, I've made a variation of it before 😋. To add some omega 3s and make it taste even more fishy, I like to drizzle a little flax oil on top. It changes the mouth feel sooo much!

[@takiawashington2253]

Oh my goodness, the cornstarch in the shaker is a great kitchen hack!

[@julesc1665]

thanks for pointing out all the good reasons for not eating fish - the damage that we are doing to the ocean and the horrible way we treat our fellow earthlings when we farm them needs to be ended as soon as possible. An excellent recipe and absolutely delicious and i say that as someone who also used to love eating fish!

[@ReillyWilde]

I like the way you described over-fishing & the fact based health (& ethical) reasons for eating vegan.🌱As someone who didn’t care for the smell & taste of fish before becoming vegan, I luckily don’t miss it. However, I appreciate that this recipe can make it so much easier for fish lovers to eat vegan “fish”.🎉 Looking forward to seeing more of your food changes & more delicious recipes!🍠 R🍁

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

Thank you! When it comes down to it, that's the reason I don't eat fish. And I LOVED fish 😩

[@VanDeSese]

Thanks so much! Looks great! Fish eats algae and that's why they have omega 3 EPA/DHA - same one we can get via algae oil (do not heat), clean and pure with no heavy metals. 🙂

[@BirdmanVeganFuture]

I cosign that. Super Trawler nets kill or suffocate ALL types of sealife too and fish farms are sick and lack omegas. Algae oil is great for omega3

[@TheOnlyKontrol]

@@BirdmanVeganFuturewhat would you say of people for example that live in Iceland…their diet for thousands of years has mainly consisted of sea life. Realistically they don’t have a choice but they are happy and healthy people.

[@BirdmanVeganFuture]

@@TheOnlyKontrol Hi, well we all have done many things for a long time, some good, lots of bad but we should strive to improve. I always consider the victims perspective, they can't breath, move and have no choices as we typically do

[@epitoky]

You are Awesome! I loved the ending where you explained why you would want to eat this “salmon” rather than a fish 🙌💞

[@qb1823]

That is a unique vegan salmon skin. Great job. Would have never thought of that.

[@K12345ab]

My favorite part was the intermission where you sat and talked to viewers. I never ate much fish but might try this as something new especially since I got my first air fryer 🎉❤

[@Butterflyneverlands]

I used to love fish, much more than cheese, but over the years of being vegan I forgot about and never craved it gain. That said, this recipe makes me want to give it a try. So I will 😁

[@JamieModelvsDirector]

True I’m pescatarian but I started the year off fasting now I don’t crave seafood like I used to I’m obsessed with mushrooms now 😅😂 I never thought I would go vegan but I’m thinking to myself I’ll be done with seafood this year ❤

[@thatsalt1560]

How beautiful is that! I've seen recipes for vegan salmon shared by popular (and good) vegans and they seem fine, but this is next level. First time I feel it's worth the effort. (And thank you for explaining why we should avoid actual salmon).

Literally ran out to buy the ingredients! I’ve never eaten any fish but my husband misses salmon since going vegan and I cant wait to make this for him thank you!

Between thinking fish are charming and my need to avoid dioxins due to my family history of Cancer, I'm always looking for alternatives so this is great--thank you!

[@viky662]

I did the vegan salmon and I highly confirm: it is absolutely DELICIOUS! This is the best vegan substitute recipe I've ever had! I also add a nori leave to the marinade, it brings extra fishy flavor to the filets ❤_ ❤YUMMYYYYY!!!

[@D0J0Master]

Great recipe, definitely going to give it a try soon. When you talked about over fishing, I understand it's hard for us humans to relate to fish and maybe that's why you said fishing effects turtles, whales sharks etc. But do you know what fishing also effects? The fish!! They are sentient beings that can feel pain, fish die in extreme suffering as they slowly suffocate to death after being caught. I get it, whales and turtles are cute but a salmon life is just as valid as the cute ones.

[@itsjustjaai]

Sooo glad you’re back! You single-handedly kick-started my family’s vegan journey and I I’ve learned so much from. You look amazing, btw!

[@nmg6248]

Yes vegan food is delicious! So much food in so many cultures is already vegan. But in the west veganism threatens many [cruel] industries and so there’s a lot of propaganda about vegan food being weird and bland. I think a lot of chefs disparage it because you have to learn a whole new set of techniques to flavor your food and make it incredible. Those aren’t the skills they are familiar with and so try to make it seem like it isn’t good. But more and more people are discovering vegan food is wonderful and they are learning to fix meals themselves. Not to mention the health benefits… I’m 52 and my heart calcium score is ZERO and not evidence of any plaque in my heart or arteries 👏🏽🙏🏽✨

[@havad3938]

My husband, usually vegetarian, bought salmon today to prepare for his 90 year old father at Christmas. I was going to make a lentil loaf fir myself with baked potato. But I think I'll make this. I think i can use the beets i have frozen to bring the red color. I have tofu and most if not all of the ingredients already. I think ill prepare this tomorrow, along with potatoes. I'll likely have a salad instead of the spinach dish. I am excited. Salmon is the only meat that has tempted me since going plant exclusive in 2020. I love one commenter's suggestion of the garlic lemon "butter." Here i go! Thanks!
