Ingredients

  • 396 g block of firm tofu I use Cauldron (UK), cut into 6 equal portions
  • 1 large lemon (½ juiced and half cut into 6 half moons)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped capers
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
  • 1 nori sheet cut into 6 pieces, each slightly bigger than each of the tofu fish fillets
  • 1 tablespoon nori flakes (nori sprinkle)
  • rapeseed/olive oil for greasing baking dish

Instructions

  • Drain and press tofu block to remove excess moisture. You can skip this step if your tofu comes already pressed.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
  • Cut tofu block in half (lengthwise) and then each half into 3 equal pieces. The way you cut your tofu will depend on the type and shape you buy. This is how I cut tofu block from Cauldron (UK).
  • Cut nori sheet into six pieces (only slightly larger that your tofu slices) and press each nori piece (its rougher part) onto each of the tofu slices.
  • Lay prepared tofu slices nori sheet side down in lightly oiled baking dish.
  • Squeeze half a lemon and drizzle it evenly over the slices and follow with apple cider vinegar.
  • Next, chop up your capers and divide them evenly between the tofu slices.
  • Cut 3 slices out of remaining half of a lemon. Cut each slices in half and place them on top of your vegan fish fillets.
  • Follow with sprinkle of nori flakes over each of the tofu slices.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • Serve sprinkled generously with freshly chopped dill and enjoy!
