{Giveaway} Ginger Tamari Salmon

This year I managed to buy quite a bit of Copper River Salmon and put it in our deep freezer. Sadly though, this is the last of it. It’s so good, we’ve been eating it at least once a week. It’s my son’s number 1 favorite fish, and mine too.

So to celebrate the last bit of this prize fish, I decided to make it pretty special. For this salmon, I used a marinade made out of Tamari, ginger and garlic. Tamari has a wonderful taste similar to soy sauce, except even more flavorful. It has a thicker consistency, a more concentrated flavor, but is less salty.

This is a wonderful light option for dinner of lunch. I served it simply over some sliced sweet peppers and garnished it with a little Italian parsley. You could also serve it with rice or a light salad.

This salmon dish also pairs incredibly well with Oi Ocha Shincha Green Tea. It’s made by  ITO EN, Japan’s leading purveyor of green tea. It’s a first harvest green tea (in Japanese, “shin” means new, and “cha” means tea). Shincha is eagerly anticipated and celebrated for its fresh and lively flavor, naturally sweet finish and smooth umami character.

Guess what? This tea is even better for you than typical green tea. It has higher concentrations of the amino acid L-theanine, catechin antioxidants and Vitamin C, and is even lower in caffeine. I’ve been enjoying this tea every afternoon. It’s the perfect refreshing drink for summer. But remember Shincha is a seasonal item, and only available for a few precious months.

Oi Ocha’s Shincha is available in 16.9 fl oz. BPA-free, recyclable bottles at select retailers, including select Costco stores and all Wegmans. You can also order it at www.itoen.com in limited quantities.
