- For the salmon:
- 1-1.5 lbs salmon filet
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free substitute)
- salt and pepper to taste
- For the soup:
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 cup cooked shelled edamame
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 4-6 green tea bags (regular or decaffeinated, whichever you prefer)
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free substitute)
- 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (optional)
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- chopped scallions, for topping
- chopped cilantro, for topping
- Directions:
- Rub salmon with garlic, ginger and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Bake at 350u0b0 for 15-20 minutes. Baking time will vary depending on desired temperature and thickness of filet.
- Prepare rice and edamame as instructed on package.
- In a separate large pot, simmer broth, water, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and Sriracha sauce until hot. About 10 minutes. Add the tea bags and let steep. About 5-8 minutes. Remove tea bags and stir.
- In a shallow bowl, layer about 1/2 cup of brown rice, 1/4 cup of edamame and top with approximately 4 ounces of cooked salmon. Ladle about 1.5 cups of broth over the salmon. Top with chopped scallions, cilantro and more Sriracha if you want to spice it up.
- Notes:
- Like I noted above, this is easily adaptable. A shrimp or tofu version would be very similar. Try adding in spinach or mushrooms. Jon says "no," but you can if you want to.
- Sriracha is a thai hot sauce and can be found in most grocery stores. Be warned - it's hot.
- I used 6 tea bags, because I really enjoy the taste of green tea. The tea flavor is easily hidden behind the garlic and ginger, so I'd recommend 6 bags if you want to taste the tea.
- We really were that sick - don't worry you can't catch it over the internet. We ate this almost every night without the salmon. It really did cure us - or maybe it was the two weeks of antibiotics.
