3. Meanwhile, combine all salsa ingredients in a separate bowl, and squeeze out the lime wedge. Let macerate.
4. When ready to cook, remove the tofu from the marinade, and set the marinade aside in a little jar. Season tofu with salt.
5. 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 another side.
