This is my take on Jamie Oliver's [[Green tea]] [[Salmon|salmon]] with [[Coconut rice|coconut rice]] (from his Jamie's 15 minute meals series). Jamie accompanied his with [[Miso|miso]] [[Greens|greens]], but I'm just going for nice plain [[Broccoli|broccoli]]. I've spiced up the rub for the salmon a little and as I'm not constrained for time I'll [[Marinade|marinade]] mine in [[Dark soy sauce|dark soy sauce]] beforehand.

Using tea leaves as a herb sound to odd the first time you hear it, but in most cases, herbs are just leaves. These are sun-dried herby (tea) leaves.be an odd

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod
|'''[[Coconut rice|coconut rice]]'''
| ''aim for twice the amount of liquid to [[Rice|rice]] (by volume)''
| Mix the [[Coconut milk|coconut milk]] with 200 ml of water and stir well.
| Measure 300 ml from this mixture - [[Freeze|freeze]] the remains for next time as you will be making this again!
| Rinse the [[Basmati rice|basmati rice]] for a few minutes under cold running water
| Add 300 ml of the coconut mixture, the [[Rice|rice]] and the [[Preserved lemon|preserved lemon]] to the pan, bring to the [[Boil|boil]], reduce to a [[Simmer|simmer]], cover and cook for 10 minutes without stirring
| After 10 minutes, remove from the heat and discard the [[Preserved lemon|preserved lemon]]
|'''[[Green tea|green tea]] [[Salmon|salmon]]'''
| Heat a [[Frying pan|frying pan]] with 1 teaspoon of [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| My green [[Tea leaves|tea leaves]] were monkey picked oolong which are quite large so I added them to the whole [[Coriander seeds|coriander seeds]], [[Salt|salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]] and [[Ground|ground]] them to a powder in my [[Coffee grinder|coffee grinder]]
| Sprinkle the [[Ground|ground]] powder onto a plate
| Remove the [[Salmon|salmon]] from the [[Soy|soy]] [[Marinade|marinade]] and discard the marinade
| Dredge the [[Salmon|salmon]] through the rub and ensure it is evenly coated, skin included
| Lay the [[Salmon fillets|salmon fillets]], skin side down and [[Saute|saute]] for 5 minutes, jiggle the [[Salmon|salmon]] after a few minutes to ensure it does not stick, but don't be tempted to turn it over yet
| After 5 minutes, [[Saute|saute]] the [[Salmon|salmon]] on the other three sides for about a minute each side
| Carefully remove the [[Salmon fillets|salmon fillets]] from the pan and place skin side up on a chopping board
| Using a sharp knife, peel the skin from the fillets
| Place the skin back into the pan, soft side down for 1 minute so it can crisp up. Press it into the pas so it makes good contact with the heat.
| Pat the skin with a paper towel to remove any excess oil
| Cut the skin into 2.5 cm slices to arrange over the dish like crisps when served. A [[Mezzaluna]] is a great tool to use for this.

Serve with [[Broccoli|broccoli]]
===Recipe source===
* My variation on [http://hotcooking.co.uk/recipes/70/jamie-oliver-15-minute-meals-green-tea-salmon Jamie Oliver's Green tea salmon]
===Variations===
My favourite [[marinade]] for this dish is now 3 tablespoons of [[dark soy sauce]], 1 tablespoon of [[Chinkiang rice vinegar]] (''Black rice vinegar'') and a small splash of [[olive oil]].
You can use a fresh [[Lemon|lemon]] for the rice if you don't have [[Preserved lemons|preserved lemons]]
