Honey Tea Glazed Salmon Recipe

honey with chamomile tea from the ceylon tea range glazed salmon

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare Salmon:
    • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Preheat the Grill or Oven:
    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
