Asian-Style Salmon or Tofu

Submitted by MarissaB

"Came from my nutritionist. When you're running really short on time, you can substitute the from-scratch sauce with your favorite Asian dressing (just check the ingredients to make sure there's no high fructose corn syrup!). You can substitute the salmon fillets for firm tofu. If you do that, make sure you marinate the tofu in the dressing for about 2 hours."

We made this exactly as written with salmon. It was delicious. It was quick to make. We will definitely be making this again. After making this several times, we found that a squirt of Thai garlic-chili paste to the sauce adds a little kick, for those who like a little heat.
