⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
-
¼ cup tamari
-
3 cloves garlic, grated
-
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed

DIRECTIONS
-
Place 2 layers of paper towels on a flat work surface; arrange tofu slices on top. Cover tofu slices with a baking sheet. Place cans, jars, or book on top of the baking sheet. Press tofu for 15 minutes. Remove weights and discard accumulated liquid.
-
Mix lemon juice, tamari, and garlic together in a bowl.
-
Place tofu slices on the baking sheet; pour lemon juice mixture on top. Let tofu marinate for 15 minutes.

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat; pour in olive oil. Add tofu slices in a single layer. Cover and cook until golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip tofu and continue to cook, covered, until golden brown on the second side, about 5 minutes more. Remove lid and cook uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining tofu.
