Earl Gray-Poached Salmon

Yes, another fish recipe. Well, sometimes it can’t be helped; such are the compromises we must make. This is a fun, flavourful way to make fish – you poach it in tea. Served with vegetables, it’s a light meal.

Ingredients:
3 cups boiling water
2 Earl Gray tea bags (or other tea sort)
½ lemon
2 salmon fillets

Instructions:
1. Put the water in a saucepan and add the tea bags. Let steep for 5-10 minutes.
2. Wash the ½ lemon and slice it thinly. Add the slices to the tea.
3. Keep the skin on the salmon fillets but scrape any scales off it.
4. Remove the tea bags and add the salmon to the tea. Poach over low heat for about 10 minutes.
