Soaked in a zesty cumin-lime marinade and served with mango salsa, this scrumptious tofu could well be your new summer favourite.

INSTRUCTIONS

Stir the soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, garlic, cumin, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl.
Cut the block of tofu in half, thickness wise, to create two thin slabs. Next cut each slab in half, width-wise, to create 4 smaller slabs.
Place the tofu slabs into a shallow dish and pour the soy sauce mixture over them. Allow the tofu to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
While the tofu marinates, fill a shallow dish with water and submerge the cedar plank. Allow the plank to soak for at least 30 minutes but an hour is best.
