I’m always proud when I cook salmon and it arrives at the table with perfectly seared skin and just cooked and flakey inside.

The black tea glaze takes this dish to new heights, adding a rich, smoky flavor flavor. Each bite is a delightful experience, as the glaze caramelizes and forms a slightly crispy, golden-brown crust on the outside while keeping the flesh moist and juicy on the inside. It is a wonderful dish that showcases the versatility of black tea.
