  1. Add all marinade ingredients to blender, and blender until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Spread tofu steaks in a shallow wide dish, and cover wth sauce. Let marinade for at least 30 mins, though the longer the better.
  2. Meanwhile, combine all salsa ingredients in a separate bowl, and squeeze out the lime wedge. Let macerate.
  3. When ready to cook, remove tofu from marinade, and set marinade aside in a little jar. Season tofu with salt.
  4. Preheat a grill pan to high heat, and season with a bit of oil. Add tofu, and grill on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, until clear grill marks appear. Turn over and repeat on other side.
  5. Immediately serve tofu drizzled generously with marinade and topped with salsa. Decorate with additional chopped basil.
