Combine quinoa and water in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
While quinoa cooks, coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and half the salt. Cook, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown and crisp on all sides.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet with the tofu along with a splash of water. Cover with a lid and steam for 3 to 4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-sharp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic powder, and a splash of water until the dressing is smooth and pourable.
Place the cooked quinoa in a bowl. Top with the seared tofu and steamed broccoli. Drizzle the tahini dressing over the top and season with the remaining salt.
