How to cook

Cut Salmon into 2 pcs and cover it with marinate. Marinade for 10 minutes.

Prepare to smoke salmon

Line a wok with aluminum foil, and ensure that the aluminum foil covers all surfaces of the wok.
Combine the brown sugar, rice, tea leaves and star anise in a bowl and spread the mixture evenly onto the base of the aluminum foil.
Set a round wire rack over the mixture. It should be about 2 cm above the mixture.
Heat the wok over high heat for about 5-8 minutes or until the mixture begins to smoke.
Place marinated salmon on the wire rack skin side down. Place on the cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Do not remove the cover for 10 minutes.
Check for doneness with a fork, the salmon should flake easily. If the salmon is not done, smoke for another 2–3 more minutes.
