Vegan Grilled Fish is a creative and flavorful dish that captures the essence of Lebanese seafood using marinated tofu. Grilled to perfection, it is complemented by a tangy tahini sauce and fresh herbs, offering a delightful plant-based alternative.

Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon

• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Tahini - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture for about 15 minutes.
2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

4. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
5. Grill the marinated tofu fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the tofu is heated through.
