Green Tea Salmon

Salmon is my favorite fish. Raw, grilled, baked, fried, it's perfect no matter what. For many reasons, salmon will always be special to me. However, it can sometimes arrive plain when you buy it at the store. A fun, and strange, way to dress it up is to cook it in green tea.

Green Tea Salmon

Serves: 2-3 as main dish

Prep Time: 10 min

Cook Time: 10 min

Ingredients:
2/3 pound salmon fillet, any variety
8 bags green tea, any variety
1/2 pound baby portabellos, sliced
1/2 c water (estimate)
1/2 c balsamic vinegar (estimate)

Method:
Pour balsamic vinegar over bottom of skillet, place salmon in skillet, and mushrooms around salmon. Cut open 8 bags of tea, pour contents over salmon, making sure to cover entire fillet. Pour a bit more balsamic vinegar on top of salmon to moisten. Pour about 1/2 cup water into skillet to thin sauce. Cover skillet, let cook for 15 minutes on medium heat, check every 5 minutes to make sure salmon isn't sticking to pan. Remove from heat and serve. Optional-take paper towel and dust tea leaves off of salmon. However, I prefer to leave them on fillet for color and texture.

Enjoy!
