Vegan Salmon
Ingredients
- 16 oz Super Firm Tofu *
Marinade
- 1 tsp Veggie Bouillon Concentrate
- 1/4 cup Vegan Mayo
- 1 Tbsp Miso Paste
- 1 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 1 tsp Dried Dill
- 1 tsp Capers
- 1 tsp Caper Brine
- 1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 cup Beet Juice
- 2 Nori Sheets
- 1 tsp MSG or salt to taste
For Serving
Instructions
- Cut your block of tofu in half. You can do so at a diagonal, or straight, up to you! Then cut each half into half so you'll have 4 filets.
- Next, lightly score each filet on the top and bottom, to create a fishy texture and so they marinate better.
- For the marinade, add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend up as fine as possible. Crush up the nori sheets a bit with your hands to make it easier for the blender.
- Add the filets to some tupperware or marinade bag and pour over the marinade. You can gently open up the filets to expose the scored sections to the marinade but do so carefully so you don't split them. Let the filets marinade at least 4 hours but overnight is best.
- To prepare, heat up a little oil in a pan (preferably non-stick) over medium heat and grill your tofu salmon for 3 - 4 minutes per side. You can either grill all four sides, or just two. Up to you!
- Serve immediately with some Tartar Sauce!
Notes
*I highly recommend Super Firm Tofu as I found it had the best texture and was the easiest to work with. Once it's been scored and marinated and grilled, it's really hard to beat the taste and texture for the time and effort spent.
Super Firm is vacuum sealed and doesn't require any pressing so it's really the easiest and quickest choice. I can find it at most grocery stores, especially Whole Foods, Sprouts and Trader Joe's. If you can only find Extra Firm, just make sure you press it for at least 30 minutes.
