Green Tea Poached Fish

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.

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

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 low-fat mayonnaise thinned with white wine vinegar and finely grated fresh ginger. Good accompaniments include hot brown rice and sauteed scallions.

Serves four.
