Instructions
Fill a saucepot with water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
Add the edamame and cook until bright green but not soft, about 1 minute.
Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a large plate.
Add the tea bag to the water and return to a boil. Cook the rice in the tea water according to package directions (it will take approximately 10 minutes).
While the rice cooks, cook the fish. Season the salmon with salt on both sides. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the fish, presentation side down, in the skillet, and sear until golden and crispy, about 6 minutes. Using tongs or a fish spatula, carefully flip the fish over and cook on second side until barely cooked through, about 2 minutes longer.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Whisk the rice vinegar, water, sugar, mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and a pinch of salt together in a bowl.
Add the warm edamame, and stir to combine. Divide rice between two plates. Top with fish and edamame and sprinkle with wasabi peas.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon can be paired with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Foley Johnson Carneros Chardonnay with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.

Foley Johnson Carneros Chardonnay
Aromas are concentrated and complex in our 2016 Carneros Chardonnay. Notes of grilled peach, pear, buttered croissant, and vanilla set the stage for a rich, and full-bodied Chardonnay. The aromas expand on the palate with mouthwatering flavors of pear, apple crisp, honeysuckle, toasted coconut, and vanilla wafer. This wine’s balance and structure coupled with its bright acidity makes it an age-worthy wine to be enjoyed for several years. Enjoy this beauty with a succulent roasted chicken and wild mushroom risotto.
