Green Tea BBQ Seasoned Glazed Salmon
Ingredients:
- 6g green tea BBQ seasonings
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skin-on
- 2 green tea bags
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets on a plate. Open the green tea bags and sprinkle the tea leaves over the salmon. Season with salt, pepper, and 3g of the green tea BBQ seasonings。
Make the Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, maple syrup, honey, and the remaining 3g of green tea BBQ seasonings. Heat over low heat until the ingredients are well combined。
Marinate the Salmon:
- Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil. Spoon the glaze over the salmon, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature。
Grill the Salmon:
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is slightly caramelized。
Serve:
- Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as steamed vegetables or rice。
Tips for Success:
- Marinating: Marinating the salmon for at least 15 minutes allows the flavors to penetrate the fish.
- Grilling: Keep an eye on the glaze to prevent burning. If needed, move the salmon to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking.
- Flavor Balance: The combination of sweet and savory flavors from the glaze and the smoky aroma of green tea BBQ seasonings enhances the natural taste of the salmon.This recipe combines the rich flavor of salmon with the unique aroma of green tea BBQ seasonings and a sweet glaze, making it a delicious and healthy meal option.
