Ingredients
- 10 cups water
- 2 limes, halved
- 6 tablespoons honey, divided
- 4-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns, plus freshly ground black pepper
- 4 to 6 tablespoons loose green tea
- 4 (6-ounce boneless skinless salmon fillets
Directions
Put 6 cups of water into a straight sided skillet or pot with a lid. Add 3 of the lime halves (squeezing the juice into the water before adding), 5 tablespoons of the honey, the ginger, salt and peppercorns and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes to infuse the water with flavors. Remove and reserve 1/2 cup of this poaching liquid. Remove the pot from heat and add the tea. Allow the tea to steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully slide the salmon into the water. Cover and poach until the fish is just cooked through and firm to the touch, about 6 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small pot over low heat, simmer the reserved 1/2 cup of liquid along with the juice and zest of the remaining lime half, and remaining 1 tablespoon of honey. Reduce the liquid by 2/3 and is thickened, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and arrange on serving plates. Drizzle a little bit of the sauce over each piece salmon before serving.

This recipe was easy and tasty. It could do with a little bit more salt so next time I might add some soy sauce to the poaching liquid. I also added chili to the ginger lime sauce and it turned out lovely. I made this with rice and a green salad with Japanese ginger dressing. Will make this again!

First of all I must say that those who gave this recipe a bad review can't cook because if they could they would have rated this better. This dish has so much flavor and the salmon was moist tender and delicate. I made this with seasoned rice and roasted asparagus. I will be making this a lot!

This sounded and looked better than it tasted. The salmon was moist but didn't have any of the flavors.
