Tofu Salmon Filets

Total Time: 45 min
Yields: 4 filets
This Tofu 'Salmon' Filets recipe offers a creative and flavorful plant-based alternative to salmon. The tofu is marinated in a unique blend of beet juice, tamari, and smoky spices to mimic the color and taste of salmon, while a nori sheet provides a clever 'skin.' Baked to perfection, this dish is both visually impressive and delicious.

Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- Serve
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Serve with lemon wedges, and cocktail sauce on the side.
