PROCEDURE

1. Extract the beet juice by centrifuge and decant it inside a large container that can accommodate the two slices.
2. Cut the tofu in two halves from the long side and with the knife carve the two rectangles to give the shape of two salmon slices.
3. Using the tip of a knife, carve the surface of the slices to create grooves that replicate the veins of the salmon.
4. Move the two salmon slices into the container with the beet juice, which should completely cover them (add water if needed to stretch the juice).
5. Place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours so the tofu will turn pink.
6. After the necessary time has elapsed, move the tofu to a cutting board (do not throw away the juice-it can be drunk or used in another recipe) and cut two strips of nori seaweed the thickness of the slices (about 1.5 cm).
7. Stick the strip of nori seaweed on the outline of each slice, so as to recreate the skin of the salmon.
8. In a nonstick pan, pour extra virgin olive oil and, when hot, add the two slices.
9. Add salt, lemon juice, and ground pepper. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes over high heat. Extinguish the flame.
10. Serve the slices by embellishing them with fresh chopped parsley
