Tea-Smoked Salmon with Honey and Lavender Glaze

Ingredients

• 2 bags Tazo Chai tea
• 1 bag Tazo Wild Sweet Orange tea
• 2 tablespoons dry rice
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
• 8 ounces sockeye salmon
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Preparation

1. Heat grill to medium-high.
2. While grill heats, prepare smoking packet by placing contents of tea bags, rice and brown sugar onto a sheet of aluminum foil. Sprinkle tea with a few drops of water (less than 1/4 teaspoon - just enough so that it's barely damp). Loosely fold foil around ingredients to form a flat packet. Place packet directly on coals/burner of heated grill (under the grate). Close the lid and wait 10 minutes for packet to begin to create smoke.
3. Pat salmon dry and brush with olive oil. Add to grill, skin-side up, away from direct heat - if grill has an upper rack, that's the perfect place for it. Close lid and let cook for 5 minutes. Flip and let cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until it's cooked to your liking.
4. Meanwhile, add honey and lavender to small saucepan set over low heat. Heat through until honey melts and becomes very thin. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Brush glaze over salmon just prior to serving.
