Drain the tofu and press it firmly between several layers of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, pressing down with your hands or a heavy skillet for at least 30 minutes, until the block feels noticeably drier and firmer.

While the tofu presses, make the lemon-herb sauce: stir together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and parsley in a small bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
