Mother North Tofu: Vegan Scandanavian 'salmon' Delight

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu, cubed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried lemon zest (use 1 tsp if fresh)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (approx)

Recipe

• 1 cut the tofu out of the package and drain the excess water. cut into cubes.
• 2 dry out the tofu thoroughly until there is no more water coming out if you prod it-- my method is the lazy way as follows-- just shove the bowl of cubes in the microwave for 5 minutes on high, then press down on it with paper towels over the sink to drain excess water. let stand for 10-15 minutes.
• 3 make a baste of the remaining ingredients except the parsley. marinate the tofu with this baste, stirring or brushing well to make sure it's dispersed.
• 4 lightly grease a small baking dish (a pie pan will do) with some olive oil, then place the marinated tofu in it.
• 5 bake at 350f for 25 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley. serve with boiled potatoes and cucumber salad, which i have a nice recipe for!
