Looks good. Although I would say it looks more like a tofu salmon than steak
Thanks for sharing! Definitely going to give it a try- always looking for new ways to prepare tofu.
This looks flavorful and like comfort food. I was surprised to see it was on the vegan recipe subreddit. Yum!
Looks great (my instinct would be to add much more garlic).
