Ingredients

• 2 blocks Firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup Vegan butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Lemon slices

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu blocks for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. After pressing, cut each block into 4 even fillets, resembling barramundi fish fillets.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and minced garlic. This will serve as the marinade for the tofu.

Step 3

Submerge the tofu fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

While the tofu is marinating, prepare the lemon herb butter. In a small bowl, combine the vegan butter, fresh parsley, fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the tofu fillets from the marinade and place them on the hot grill. Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes or until grill marks appear and the tofu is heated through.

Step 7

Once the tofu fillets are grilled, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a minute.

Step 8

Top each tofu fillet with a generous dollop of the lemon herb butter, allowing it to melt slightly.

Step 9

Garnish the dish with lemon slices for an extra burst of citrus flavor and freshness.

Step 10

Serve immediately, paired with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables or quinoa for a complete meal.
