Honey-Ginger Baked Salmon

I LOVE this recipe, and I'm not even a huge fan of fish.

1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup lite soy sauce
1 Tbsp. minced ginger
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
4 (4 oz.) salmon fillets
5 green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
Jasmine (or regular white) Rice (2 cups)

1. Prepare rice according to package directions. Keep warm.

2. Cook orange juice and next 4 ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring once, 1 minute. Remove from heat; remove and reserve 2/3 cup orange juice mixture. Pour remaining mixture into a large shallow baking dish, add salmon, turning to coat. Cover or seal, and chill 15 minutes. Remove salmon from marinade, discarding marinade. Place marinated salmon on an aluminum foil-lined jelly roll pan.

3. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork (I like to over-bake it just a little bit).

4. Meanwhile, bring reserved 2/3 cup orange juice mixture to a light boil in a small sauce pan over medium heat; cook 5 minutes or until slightly thickened and syrupy.

5. Serve salmon over rice. Top with orange sauce, and sprinkle with green onions.
