Salmon with Orange-Ginger Sauce

The original recipe called for Red Snapper, but all we had was salmon.  It turned out delicious.

1 pound fresh or frozen skinless salmon (or red snapper, or grouper, or ocean perch fillets) 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
1 T butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4 c sliced green onion
1/2 c orange juice
2 T soy sauce
1 T honey
1 t sesame oil (I used peanut)
1/2 t grated ginger
6 c torn mixed greens

Thaw the fish according to instructions.  Turn the oven to a low broil. Melt the butter in a casserole dish big enough to fit your fish (9x13). Lay the fish over the melted butter and sprinkled with salt and pepper to taste.  Broil the fish for about 5-10 minutes until the fish begins to flake when tested with a fork. 

Meanwhile combine green onion, orange juice, soy sauce, honey, oil, and ginger in a small saucepan.  Boil gently, uncovered, for 1 minute.  Remove from heat. 

Place greens in a large bowl. Pour half of the sauce over greens, tossing to coat.  To serve, arrange greens on a platter or individual plates.  Place fish on top of greens and drizzle with remaining sauce.
