cooking with tea has been around for ages, when done well, it adds a nice Smokey flavor to all types of meats.

Steps

1

Prepare salmon by cutting into reasonable portion sizes. I always leave the skin on, but do as you wish.
2

Coat salmon with olive oil, don't bath it in oil, but give it enough for a good massage.
3

Season with salt & pepper to taste. Drizzle the honey on both sides.
4

If using loose tea, and it's coarsely ground, I recommend placing it in a coffee grinder & refining it a bit more.
5

If using tea bags, cut open tea bag, and place in a Bowl
6

Lightly dust salmon on both sides so that It's covered lightly with green tea. don't rub it in.
7

Keep in mind that salt & green tea will draw out moisture, so it's important that you coat the salmon in oil first, you can also brush with honey for a sweeter flavor. Be sure you don't over cook the salmon.
8

When cooking with salt & tea your cooking time should be reduced slightly. Salmon should be cooked on medium heat, and thickness of salmon should be considered so as not to overcook.
