Green Tea Poached Fish
Contributed by: Chris WebAdmin. of RecipesNow.com
Use any firm fish in this one-salmon and halibut both work well. The antioxidant tea has subtle lemon and orange flavors to complement the fish.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups Celestial Seasonings authentic or antioxidant green tea
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons minced white onion
- 1 1/2 - 2 pounds fish (4 small steaks or 2 large ones)
- Salt and pepper
Directions:
To make green tea, pour hot but not boiling water over teabags and steep for five minutes.
Use one teabag for every 8 ounces (1 cup) hot water. In a deep skillet, simmer green tea,
ginger, garlic and onion for 10 minutes.
Salt and pepper the fish, and place the steaks gently into the poaching liquid. Adjust heat to a
gentle simmer, and cook steaks 8-10 minutes until fish is slightly translucent. Remove fish.
Serve with mayonnaise thinned with white wine vinegar and finely grated fresh ginger. Good
accompaniments include hot brown rice and sauteed scallions.
