Description
Vegan Salmon Recipe Made From Tofu offers a delicious, flaky texture and umami flavors in a quick preparation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block extra-firm tofu (or firm tofu if well-pressed)
- 2 sheets nori (can substitute with seaweed flakes)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (or fresh lemon juice)
- 2 tablespoons oil (neutral oil like vegetable or canola)
Instructions
- Slice the extra-firm tofu into filets and press them gently with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fresh lemon zest, and a splash of water. Add the tofu filets, ensuring they are well-coated in the marinade, then allow to soak for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the marinated tofu filets in the pan and pan-fry for about 10 minutes, turning gently until golden brown.
- Serve the cooked vegan salmon warm, in sushi rolls, or atop a salad for a nutritious meal.
