- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon on it, skin side down.
- Boil water in a saucepan.
- In a bowl, combine the boiling water, tea, maple syrup, maple vinegar, and mustard. Pour evenly on the salmon, then season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until salmon is pink.
- Gently remove the salmon from the sheet and transfer to a serving plate. Keep warm.
- Strain the cooking liquid through a sieve. Pour into a saucepan with the cream and, over medium heat, reduce by half.
