Rub the salmon with lots of salt. Let sit for 10 - 15 minutes while you get everything else together. I use big chunky salt because it's easier to wipe off.
Ask a question about this stepMake the green tea. Cut the nori into strips if you're using it. Portion the rice into bowls.
Ask a question about this stepWipe the salt off the salmon and then cook it by the method of your choice. I like to pan fry, but it would be good grilled or baked, whatever you prefer.
Ask a question about this stepBreak the salmon into chunks and place on the rice. Add a bit of wasabi and some of the strips of nori on top.
Ask a question about this stepPour the green tea over the wasabi and add soy sauce to taste. I don't like my soup very liquidy, so I use about a half cup of tea, but you could easily use closer to a cup.
Ask a question about this stepDone and done. Enjoy!
Ask a question about this stepSalmon ochazuke at teaism is one of my favorite meals in the USA. Thanks for posting the recipe. Can't wait to try it myself.
Wow. Sounds like a wonderful dinner. Love the tea and wasabi with the salmon.
I have never made ochazuke. Never used tea in this manner. I am excited. I usually have this stuff around. Thanks.
Yeah, the first time I heard about this I was not convinced (Salmon in tea?? hmmm...), but it's such an easy and comforting dish. Let me know how you like it!
I was going to post a salmon ochazuke but you beat me to it! Looks great.
When I saw aargersi's tea rice (http://www.food52.com/recipes/2892_tea_rice) I thought someone had beaten me to it too, but that one's pretty different, I guess :)
Love Teaism and love this recipe!
Brilliant!! ;o)

Made this today, added a few slivers of ripe, local avocado and some leftover roasted cauliflower. Used short grain brown rice -- the nice flavorful, chewy kind. The perfect lunch!! Love this recipe. ;o)
