Ingredients:
For the Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (6-8 ounces each)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil for brushing
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup strong chamomile tea (brewed with 2 chamomile tea bags or 2 tablespoons loose chamomile tea)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For Garnish (optional):
- Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro
- Lemon wedges
Instructions:
- Brew Chamomile Tea:
- Brew a cup of strong chamomile tea by steeping 2 chamomile tea bags or 2 tablespoons of loose chamomile tea in hot water for about 5 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Prepare Salmon:
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Preheat the Grill or Oven:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Make the Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, combine the brewed chamomile tea, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, Dijon mustard, and olive oil.
- Simmer the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
- Grill or Bake the Salmon:
- If grilling, brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and place them on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
- If baking, place the seasoned salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush them with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Apply the Glaze:
- Brush the chamomile tea and honey glaze generously over the grilled or baked salmon during the last few minutes of cooking. Continue to baste until the glaze caramelizes and forms a glossy coating on the salmon.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Transfer the glazed salmon to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, and serve with lemon wedges on the side. This dish pairs well with a variety of sides, such as steamed vegetables, quinoa, or rice.
