    Rooibos tea-smoked salmon

    Ingredients

    • 2 salmon fillets
    • 12 rooibos tea bags (tea leaves
    • removed from the bags)
    • 1 cup uncooked rice
    • 30 – 45ml (2 – 3 tbsp) water
    • ½ small cucumber, chopped, to serve

    Instructions

    1

    Line a wok with 4 layers of foil, allowing the edges to overhang. If your wok doesn’t have a lid, you'll need extra foil to lock in the smoke.

    2

    Spread the tea mixture over the base and heat the mixture until it just starts to smoke.

    3

    Place the salmon fillets in an oiled steamer or on a wire rack. There should be a gap between the tea mixture and the fish to allow the food to smoke. Cover with foil or a wok lid and cook for 10 – 12 minutes.

    4

    Serve with chopped cucumber.
