Preparation

Step 1
Preheat broiler. Arrange fish on a broiling pan, skin side down, and brush lightly with sesame oil. Mix together tea and salt.
Step 2
Place pan on broiler rack adjusted so that fish is as close as possible to heating element, as close as 2 inches away. Broil, checking fish once or twice to make sure it is browning but not burning; lower rack if necessary. When fish is browned and a thin-bladed knife penetrates it with little resistance, it is done. Total cooking time in a good broiler will be about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Sprinkle fish liberally with the tea-salt mixture and serve with lime wedges.
