In a large saucepan, bring 6 cups (1.5 L) of water to a boil. Place green tea bags, ginger slices and peppercorns in pan, turn off heat and let steep for 10 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, remove tea bags, ginger and peppercorns from tea broth. Place salmon in tea broth and bring to a slow simmer. Cook for eight minutes, or until salmon is opaque and flaky. (Maintain only a very mild simmer during poaching.)
Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add sliced mushrooms and sauté for five minutes, stirring regularly. Stir in red wine and cook for another five minutes or until most of the wine has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
Divide salmon among four serving plates and top with sautéed mushrooms. Garnish with green onion.
