Ingredients and Preparation

Ingredients	Measures
Fresh ginger root, grated	1 tablespoon
Garlic clove, minced	1
Honey	1 tablespoon
Soy sauce	2 tablespoons
Orange juice	2 tablespoons
Salmon filets	2 (5-ounce)
Green onions, chopped	2

Directions
Mix together ginger, garlic, honey, soy sauce, and orange juice. Place fish and marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to overnight.
Preheat broiler (on low setting if your broiler has an option) and position the oven rack about 4 inches below the heat.
Remove fish from bag, reserving marinade, and place skin-side up on a broiling rack coated with nonstick cooking spray. Broil fish for about 2 minutes, then remove from oven and pull the skin off with tongs. Baste with marinade and return to oven. After another 2-3 minutes, turn fish over and broil another 4-5 minutes. Fish will flake easily when done.
When fish is done, garnish with the green onion and enjoy!
