Tofu Salmon Filets

Instructions

1. Prepare the Tofu

   • If using Nasoya brand extra-firm tofu, there's no need to press it.
   • Cut the tofu block diagonally into 4 filet-shaped pieces.
   • Carefully score shallow slits into each piece without cutting through the other side. This helps the tofu absorb the marinade.
2. Marinate

   • In a bowl, mix all marinade ingredients until well combined.
   • Place tofu filets in a ziplock or container and pour the marinade over them.
   • Cover and marinate overnight in the refrigerator, flipping occasionally if not fully submerged.
3. Prepare for Baking

   • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
   • Cut nori sheets into triangles or rectangles to match the base of each tofu filet.
   • Brush the bottom of each tofu piece with a bit of egg white or flax egg to help the nori adhere.
   • Press a piece of nori onto the base of each filet (shiny side out, if desired for a skin-like effect).
4. Bake

   • Place the tofu filets nori-side down on the baking sheet. Brush more marinade on each of the pieces if you like.
   • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until heated through and the nori has adhered well.
5. Serve

   • Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
   • Serve with lemon wedges, and cocktail sauce on the side.
