This recipe is a life-saver for my vegan friends who miss the taste of salmon. Can't wait to share it with them!

[DoctorRevers]

These videos are very very good. Keep ‘em coming. They’re up there with the best on YouTube imo.

This looks great, my only critique applies to all of the similar "salmon" recipes I've seen recently too and it's that beets do NOT give the same pink colour as salmon! It's truly more of an orange colour so I think carrot juice is the move instead! (Or a combo of the two, depending on the exact shade you want to achieve - farmed vs wild, Atlantic vs Pacific vs sockeye, etc. There's a lot of hues of salmon!)

The biggest problem where I live is there's no such thing as "super firm tofu that's vacuum sealed and doesn't required pressing", where I live. All the tofu is submerged in water in deep plastic cartons. And when I press them, they're still soggy and "waterlogged" afterwards.

This is the best version of this method I have seen because of your variations, like the scoring of the tofu fillets on both broad sides. Brilliant! Thanks for posting 🙂

You are so amazing, honestly the creativity is awesome. Gonna make this for my wife, who loved salmon before going vegan.

This looks and sounds SO good. Salmon is the one "meat" I miss every once in a while, so I'm definitely trying this with a sriracha mayo bowl situation!

Thank you for another banger! Can't wait to make it

I only do the twice frozen thing on soft or medium firm tofu. When it's done on anything firmer than that, I completely agree it has an unpleasantly spongey texture. I see people doing it on the firm tofus all the time though so some people don't seem to find it as off putting I guess.

Thank you for your recipes! Will be buying your book when i am financially able to.

Loved this video and your channel! One trick I saw online was to burn the nori a little bit on the stove before adding it to the marinade so it gets more flavourful and extra smoky which is very nice for the salmon :)
Also! I always wonder what do you normally eat in a week? do you have any good less-fancy recipes worth sharing?

Seaweed is high in B12, so you get a lot of the nutrients from salmon in this vegan version.

My husband immediately said he hoped it wouldn't taste too fishy (as he likes vegan seafood only on rare occasions and if not too close).

Between that and your very comments on the fishiness, I have the Gilmore Girls "it's not a fishy fish" conversation playing in my head. xD

Get a TofuBud. You’ll thank me.

1. Press on setting 1 for at least 60 minutes. Pour out the water.
2. Press on setting 2 for at least 30 minutes. Pour out the water.
3. Place it in a container with paper towels under it. Replace the paper towels every 12-18 hours.
4. Let it sit in the fridge for 36-72 hours.

The more dried out the more meaty texture you’re going to have. 48 hours seems to really allow it to soak up the marinade well. Then it’s amazing.

Vegan salmon has been on my mind for quite a while. This came just in time! Thanks!

[BladeReader]

Using the nori for salmon skin is insane 🤒 i want to try
Thee Fish dude

[TheBonniepatterson]

OMG … this looks awesome !! How did I not find this channel until someone on Reddit mentioned it ❤

[ecofriend]

Dude, when are you opening your restaurant? Make sure it's a chain!

[Lttlefot]

Have you tried using algal oil? You can find it as a vegan liquid omegas supplement (such as Barlean’s). I have wanted to try that for a while and I wonder if it would work a little better than nori sheets. (I’d rather just eat the nori)

[maryannwabalas]

I can't wait to try this! Simon was one of my most favorite things to eat when I was pescatarian before I went vegan.
