Steps

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
In a bowl, mix the tofu cubes with jerk seasoning, olive oil, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
While the tofu is marinating, prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, lime juice, and cilantro in a bowl. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated tofu for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
Serve the jerk tofu topped with mango salsa and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Tips for Jamaican Jerk Tofu with Mango Salsa

A well-browned tofu cube should have crisp edges and a firm center; crowding the pan can make it steam instead.
Taste the salsa before serving: mango ripeness varies, so adjust the balance with a little more lime if it tastes overly sweet.
For easier browning, use a wide skillet and leave space between the tofu cubes.
