Tofu salmon fillets

Do you want to frighten your fellow vegan friends?

Then this recipe is for you.

It is a salmon made of tofu, which is by all accounts grilled salemon fillets.

Ingredients of this salmon fillet is actually just this extra firm tofu.

And this is how you slice the tofu(200g tofu becomes 2 pieces of salmon fillets )

A bread knife will give them a nice wavy shape！

Then use a pair of sticks (or small wooden spoons)to slice tofu like Hasselback potatoes.

Coat the fillets with some cornstarch.

Cornstarch is a fairly important ingredient here.

Make sure that the fillets are well coated all the way through.

Marinade recipe for 4 pieces of tofu fillets

Mix the following ingredients with a spoon and marinate the tofu fillets.

You don't need much time to marinate them, they will colour up in about 10 minutes.

1/4 cup (60ml) pickled beet’s juice.

1/4 cup (60ml) water

2 tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp smoked paprika powder

1 tsp vegan broth powder (alnatura)

After marinating, the fillets need two types of coating.

Poppy seeds and brewer’s yeast.

Poppy seeds for the fish skin side, and the rest of the fillet are coated with brewer’s yeast.

If the previous cornstarch is skipped,the seeds and brewer’s yeast will not stick so nicely.

Now they are ready to be grilled !

All sides need to be grilled slowly with about 1tbsp olive oil, but

start grilling from the skin (poppy seeds) side.

If the poppy seeds are not stable, they will fall off.

While grilling, season generously with salt and pepper.

When they are done grilled , transfer the fillets to a plate.

(Optional sauce)

I didn't have any sliced lemon or herbs here so I decided to create some sauce.

Boil 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp mirin in the same unwashed frying pan.

Drizzle it over the grilled tofu salmon fillet.

And lastly drizzle a tiny bit of flax seed oil ( not heated omega 3 oil ) on the fillet.

Flaxseed oil gives the tofu an almost fishy taste.

If you don't like the smell of fish, leave it out.

Enjoy!

Note:

This tofu salmon is full of calcium ,iron, protein and B vitamins.

You don’t have to be afraid of serving this delicious dish with some white fluffy jasmin rice instead of whole grains.
