Honey Garlic Butter Baked Salmon | Ready in 15 Mins! by Kitchen Sanctuary
Ingredients
- 1 Salmon
- 1 Salt to taste
- 1 Pepper to taste
- 1 Olive oil (amount depends on size of fish.) enough to generously coat fish.
- 2 tbsp Green tea, or less. some teas are stronger than others. A good rule of thumb is, if it brews strong, use less. you can use tea bags, but they tend to be less fresh than loose,packed well.
- tbsp Honey
Steps/How to Make
Prepare salmon by cutting into reasonable portion sizes. I always leave the skin on, but do as you wish.
Coat salmon with olive oil, don't bath it in oil, but give it enough for a good massage.
Season with salt & pepper to taste. Drizzle the honey on both sides.
If using loose tea, and it's coarsely ground, I recommend placing it in a coffee grinder & refining it a bit more.
If using tea bags, cut open tea bag, and place in a Bowl
Lightly dust salmon on both sides so that It's covered lightly with green tea. don't rub it in.
Keep in mind that salt & green tea will draw out moisture, so it's important that you coat the salmon in oil first, you can also brush with honey for a sweeter flavor. Be sure you don't over cook the salmon.
When cooking with salt & tea your cooking time should be reduced slightly. Salmon should be cooked on medium heat, and thickness of salmon should be considered so as not to overcook.
