Submitted by:

The smokey flavor of the Lapsang Souchong infuses the salmon in this quick and health dish. Sure to please your friends and family.

Prep Time: 15 min / 10 min
Serving Size: 2 to 4

Ingredients

2 to 4 8oz salmon fillets
1 slice of fresh lemon
5 cups brewed Lapsang Souchong
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
kosher salt

Directions
Brew the 5 cups of tea in the normal manner.
After the tea has steeped pour it in the pan you are going to poach the salmon in. I recomend a Dutch oven with a lid.
Add the Lemon slice, peppercorns, and fennel seeds to the tea and keep it on a low heat do no simmer. You want to keep the liquid at between 160 and 180 degrees.
Rub some salt on both sides of your fillets.
Now carefully put the fillets in the poaching liquid making sure the fish is completely covered by the liquid. Put the cover on the pan and poach 10 min and plate and serve.
