Vegan Tofu Fish Sticks

Ingredients
2/3 cup fine cornmeal (or all-purpose flour)
2/3 cup sliced almonds
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons kelp granules
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup plain, unsweetened soymilk
1 pound firm tofu, drained
extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, cut in wedges for squeezing

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment
paper and coat it with olive oil. Set aside.

Combine the cornmeal or flour, sliced almonds, paprika, kelp,
salt, onion powder, garlic powder, dill weed, and pepper to
taste in a blender. Blend on high until most of the almonds
have been turned into a coarse meal, with a few larger pieces of
almond remaining.

Pour the mixture into a wide baking dish or pie plate. Place the
plain soymilk into a bowl and set next to the cornmeal mixture.
With a sharp knife, cut the tofu into even slices just under 1/2
inch wide. Cut the slices into fish stick dimensions or use a
fish-shaped cookie cutter to cut out tofu fish.

Working with one piece at a time, dip the tofu into the soymilk,
then toss gently in the cornmeal mixture to coat evenly. Place
on the prepared baking sheet. When all the tofu fish are on the
baking sheet, sprinkle them with olive oil.

Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the tofu over and bake for an
additional 15 minutes, or until crispy (if making Tater Tots to
go with the fish sticks, place them on the baking sheet for the
last 15 minutes).

Squeeze some lemon juice evenly over the tofu fish and serve.
