McDonald’s Copycat – Vegan Filet-O-Fish Sandwich & Tartar Sauce

for the fishless filets

1 lb block extra firm tofu

1 sheet roasted nori – cut into squares the size of your tofu cakes

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or your flour of choice)

Water

1 TBS flaked roasted seaweed

1 TBS kelp granules

pinch salt

1 TBS fresh lemon juice

Panko or other bread crumbs – about 1/2 cup or more

Cooking spray

2 slices vegan cheese

2 buns

for the tartar sauce

1/4-1/3 cup vegan mayo

1 tsp sweet relish

1 tsp chopped dill pickle

1 tsp minced onion

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

pinch of salt

Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Split the tofu in half & then press them between paper towels with something heavy on top. After 20 minutes or so – cut the two slices into squares.

Put panko in one bowl. In another, whisk enough water in with the flour, flaked seaweed, kelp granules, lemon & salt so you get a thin batter. Put a square of nori on each tofu cake & dredge through the batter & then the panko – getting all sides covered. Place on a cooking sheet topped with parchment paper. Spray with some cooking oil & bake for about 30 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden. Top with cheese & cook until melted.

While they cook, whisk the tartar sauce ingredients together.

When the tofu is golden & the cheese melted, place each tofu cake on a bun & top with tartar sauce. Enjoy!
