very fun to make! i think it’s missing a tad of salty and spicy. so when i had the leftovers i added sriracha, soy sauce and mayo (rather than the yoghurt sauce). it then resembled more closely the viral salmon bowl

Mmm sounds like a delicious twist, Laura! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with this recipe 🤗

Delicious, but don’t expect fish flavour.
Made this as sushi filling, it was a hit. If you cut the tofu into strips it’s more surface area to extract liquid and absorb the marinade.

Really good

Is there an upper limit on marinating time?

Hi Court! You can marinate it overnight for a stronger flavour if you'd like. We'd just recommend avoiding going too long (such as over 24 hours), as the tofu can become overly soft.

I marinated mine for close to 24 hours and it was fine.

This was a fun and tasty meal. It didn’t taste ‘fishy’ despite the nori. I think I’ll tweak it next time for more of a taste of the sea by adding capers or samphire, maybe a grind of coarse salt over the top of the ‘salmon’ on serving.. It presents beautifully and was simple to make. The dill and lemon sauce was perfect.

Hi - what kind of white vinegar should be used please? White distilled? White wine vinegar? Other? Thanks.

General white vinegar (sometimes labelled as white distilled vinegar) works best for this recipe! If you prefer, you can also try it with white wine vinegar 😊
