Ingredients
  

For the Vegan “Salmon”:
  • Firm tofu or carrot-based vegan salmon fillet – 200 g
  • Soy sauce – 1 tbsp
  • Olive oil – 1 tbsp
  • Lemon juice – 1 tbsp
  • Smoked paprika – ½ tsp
  • Maple syrup – ½ tsp
  • Garlic – 1 clove minced
  • Salt – ¼ tsp
  • Black pepper – pinch
For the Mango Avocado Salsa:
  • Ripe mango – 1 cup diced
  • Avocado – 1 medium diced

  • Red bell pepper – ¼ cup chopped
  • Lime juice – 1 tbsp
  • Fresh coriander – 1 tbsp chopped

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add vegan “salmon” fillets to the marinade and coat well. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat.
  4. Place marinated fillets on the pan and grill for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crisp.
  5. Meanwhile, combine mango, avocado, onion, bell pepper, lime juice, coriander, and salt in a bowl.
  6. Toss gently so the avocado stays chunky.
  7. Plate the grilled vegan salmon and top generously with the mango avocado salsa.
  8. Sprinkle sesame seeds for a little crunch.
  9. Serve with lime wedges and pretend you’re in a beachside café.
  10. Enjoy the perfect balance of smoky, tangy, and tropical flavors

Additional Notes / Tips

  • Use fresh, ripe mangoes — canned ones just don’t flirt with flavor the same way.
  • For extra protein, add edamame or quinoa to the plate.
  • Press tofu well before marinating — it helps absorb flavor like a pro.
  • Drizzle extra lime juice right before serving for that bright, zesty kick.
  • Pairs beautifully with chilled coconut water or a crisp mocktail.
