Elevate salmon with smoky green tea flavor over a vibrant zucchini, radish, and edamame salad.
Ingredients:
  • 31.50 gm salt-reduced soy sauce
  • 4 (125g each) salmon fillets, skin on
  • 30g (1/4 cup) green tea leaves
  • 70g (1/3 cup) jasmine rice
  • 24.00 gm brown sugar
  • 3 large zucchini, trimmed, cut into noodles
  • 300g frozen edamame, steamed, podded
  • 250g red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh chives
  • 3.00 gm sesame seeds, lightly toasted
  • 1/2 tsp wasabi paste
  • 20.00 ml mirin
Instructions:
  • Mix together the soy sauce and oil in a bowl. Put the salmon in a shallow glass or ceramic dish and pour the soy mixture over it. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors marinate.
  • Prepare the wok by lining it with 4 layers of foil, making sure the edges overhang. Mix tea, rice, and sugar in a bowl and place it in the wok. Put a wire rack or steamer in the wok about 5cm above the foil and spray it with oil. Add the salmon and cover the wok.
  • Preheat wok over high heat until the tea mixture begins to smoke. Lower heat to medium, cover, and cook for 7 minutes for medium doneness or until desired. Take out the rack or steamer and let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • In a large bowl, toss together zucchini, edamame, cabbage, radish, chives, and sesame seeds. Season with sea salt to taste.
  • Mix together the wasabi, mirin, remaining 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of oil in a bowl. Divide the salad among plates, place salmon on top, and drizzle with the dressing.
