Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the carrots and then use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, liquid smoke, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Stir to mix well.
Crumble the nori sheet into small flakes and add to the marinade.
Add the carrot ribbons into the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
Scatter the marinated carrots evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the carrots are tender, turning halfway through baking.
While the carrots are baking, cut the baguette into 4 equal sections and then split each section in half horizontally.
Finely slice the red onion and the radishes and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with lemon juice, black pepper, and a tablespoon of fresh dill until smooth.
Once the carrot 'salmon' is cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture on each baguette half.
Top with layers of the smoked carrot 'salmon', radish slices, a few red onion slices, and capers.
Sprinkle the remaining fresh dill on top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vegetarian twist on a classic sandwich.
