Marinade
- 1 tbsp Szechuan peppers
- 2 tbsp green tea
- 1 anise star spice (whole)
- 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tbsp Ponzu sauce
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Salmon filet
Ceylon tea (about 3-6 oz)
Cherry Wood chips (I like Cameron Smoking chips), about 6-12 oz
Combine the pepper, green tea and star anise in a small saucepan and lightly toast. Combine in a bowl with the liquid ingredients. Marinate the salmon overnight. Prepare the smoker and mix the chips and tea in a 1 (tea): 2 (cherry chips) ratio. Smoke until done.
