Earl Grey Salmon

I had this dish at a 5-star restaurant and was unsuccessful in finding the recipe. But it was simply a salmon fillet that had been marinated in Earl Grey tea. So I fudged the recipe myself and this is what I came up with. Read more Simple, yet remarkably delicious with a fragile and subtle hint of smoky bergamot flavour. See less
Ingredients
- 2 6-ounce salmon steaks or fillets shopping list
- 3 ounces Earl Grey tea leaves shopping list
- 4 cups boiling water shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
- fresh lemon wedges (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Steep the tea in the boiling water for 10 minutes.
- Strain half of the tea leaves into a marinating container of some sort (with lid is great) and place the salmon pieces on top of the tea leaves.
- Strain the other half of the tea leaves on top of the salmon pieces.
- Spoon about 6 tbsps. of the steeped tea into the marinating container and cover.
- Marinate in the fridge for about 6 hours, turning the salmon pieces once or twice.
- The salmon can then be seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled, broiled or pan fried. A 6-ounce salmon fillet takes approximately 3 minutes per side to cook; a steak takes less than that, so watch carefully and don't overcook. It is cooked when it is no longer transparent in the middle.
- Serve with fresh lemon wedges. Anything else would mask the subtle flavour of the tea.
