Brown Sugar Lemon Pepper Faux Salmon Vegan Tofu Version Recipes

PEPPERY BROWN SUGAR SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Pat the salmon fillets dry.
• Brush with melted butter.
• Combine the seasonings in a small bowl and mix.
• Sprinkle the seasonings over the salmon and press down gently.
• On a lightly greased baking sheet, bake for 20-25 minutes. I typically line the baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.

BROWN SUGAR LEMON PEPPER FAUX SALMON- VEGAN TOFU VERSION!

Steps:

• Drain the tofu very well and press out all the excess water using the plate press method or drying out in the microwave.
• I get about 8-9 width-wise slices per block, cut out about eight 1/2" thick pieces then place into a tossing bowl.
• Mix the other ingredients together to make a marinade and pour over the tofu pieces, tossing well to coat.
• Lay the tofu pieces out into a flat dish/container so they don't overlap, and freeze for about 40-60 minutes for both the marinade to soak in and the tofu to have a nice fish-like texture when it grills.
• Grill on each side for about 5-10 minutes or until that nice browned grilled look comes into place.

TURKISH DELIGHT - LOW(ER) SUGAR VERSION

Steps:

• Combine sugar, 1 c water, cream of tartar, and flavoring(s) in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
• In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch with remaining water, mix completely, and slowly stir into sugar mixture.
• Boil over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes, until the mixture reaches "Firm-ball stage," or 245ºF (120ºC) on a candy thermometer.
• Apply non-stick cooking spray to a form (ice cube trays will do nicely), shallow pie pan, or jelly-roll pan.
• Pour the hot mixture into the pan or form and allow to set.
• When cool, release from form or cut into cubes as applicable and roll each piece in powdered sugar, granulated sugar, or coconut.
• Store at room temperature in airtight container.
• *with the exception of the sugar, cornstarch, water, cream of tartar, and cooking technique, this recipe may be altered according to taste and/or occasion.
