    Instructions

    1. 1

      Press 14 ounces of extra-firm tofu for at least 20 minutes to remove excess water, then slice it into 8 equal planks.

    2. 2

      In a shallow dish, marinate the tofu planks with 2 tablespoons of Caribbean jerk seasoning and 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice for 15 minutes, ensuring all sides are coated.

    3. 3

      While the tofu marinates, prepare the mango salsa by combining 1 large diced ripe mango, 1/4 cup of finely diced red onion, 1/4 cup of finely diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon of finely minced scotch bonnet pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl.

    4. 4

      Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

    5. 5

      Carefully place the marinated tofu planks into the hot skillet in a single layer and pan-sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.

    6. 6

      Remove the pan-seared tofu from the skillet and let it rest for 2 minutes.

    7. 7

      Serve the warm pan-seared Caribbean spiced tofu immediately, topped generously with the fresh mango salsa.
