Poached Salmon Fillet in White Tea Broth
My simple, hearty 5:2 recipe for Get the Gloss's expert advice columns on how to tackle the 5:2 diet.
1 large salmon fillet
200 ml water
1 white tea bag (eg Clipper)
1 stick of lemongrass, bashed with wooden spoon to release oils and flavours
1 tsp mixed Thai spices (dry)
1 small pack purple sprouting broccoli , woody stems removed
Method:
1. Boil the kettle and add the hot water to the tea bag. Leave it to infuse for 5 minutes then remove the bag to prevent the broth becoming too bitter.
2. Simmer the broth over heat with the lemon grass stick and Thai Spices for 10 minutes.
3. Add the purple sprouting broccoli and salmon and poach for a further 5 minutes.
4. Take it off the heat and allow to stand for 2 minutes before serving. Do not throw the broth away or serve dry as this is where all the goodness is.
