Number Of Ingredients 9

1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
4 salmon fillets (4 ounces each), skinned, preferably wild
1/2 ounce loose tea, preferably Red Moon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
12 brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced crosswise
1 tablespoon sherry-wine vinegar
Kaffir Lime Sauce

Steps:

  • Place cucumber in a colander set over a medium bowl and sprinkle over 1 teaspoon salt; toss to combine. Let stand 1 hour to drain. Discard liquid.
  • Place salmon in a baking dish and sprinkle over tea. Let stand 15 minutes at room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Generously salt water and return to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool to 160 degrees. If water is too hot, fish will overcook. Immediately pour enough hot water over fish to cover by 1 inch. Let stand 10 minutes for rare, or 12 to 13 minutes for medium rare. If water temperature gets below 140 degrees, add a little more hot water.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook until soft and translucent, about 30 seconds. Add brussels sprouts and continue cooking until slightly caramelized, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add 1 tablespoon vinegar; set aside and keep warm.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer fish to a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry. Drizzle lime sauce onto 4 serving plates. Divide brussels sprouts mixture evenly between plates and top with salmon. Garnish with cucumber and serve immediately.

This was a great recipe! I used green tea, and the flavor was amazing. The salmon was moist and tender, and the skin was crispy.
