From the kitchen of: Alicia Wingren
Adapted from this recipe.
1 salmon fillet
1/3 c. soy sauce
½ c. orange juice (approx the juice of one orange)
1/4 c. honey (we like this honey)
2 green onions, sliced thin
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. red wine
1 Tbsp. fresh ginger root (I used a chunk about a half inch square chunk)

Blend the OJ, honey, olive oil, and wine in a blender. Add the ginger in one or two chunks so you can find it for removal later (mince if you don't mind getting surprised by it later). Next, add the sliced green onion. Mix well, pour into a resealable plastic bag and add salmon. I like to occasionally massage the marinade into the fish. Let the fish marinate for approximately an hour.

Place salmon on a hot grill skin side up. Let it cook for about 6 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillet and the temperature of your grill) on that side. While the salmon is cooking put the marinate in a saucepan on the stove and bring it to a boil to kill any germs. This way you can use it as additional sauce on the table. Finally, flip the salmon to the skin side and grill it for another 1.5 minutes or until fish is flaky. Serve with leftover marinate (after boiling).
