While most American pitmasters would rather retire their overalls than serve fish, the tea-smoked salmon has a light, clean flavor with a hint of smoke. To achieve tea smoking in a home grill, Chef Lo suggests making a small boat of tin foil, filling it with black tea leaves, sugar and rice, and placing it on top of the burning coals. Situate the fish on the other side of the grill away from the tea boat, close the lid, then cook to desired doneness.

This Chinese-tinged method will certainly come in handy next time I grill for the surf-and-turf crowd.
