Crispy Orange-Glazed Salmon (Thai Inspired)

Submitted by Oolala

"From the magazine Cottage Living 3/2007. I like the way this sounds so it's here for safe keeping. The description in the magazine states that the sweetness of orange juice tempers the heat of the chili pepper and red pepper flakes in this Thai inspired dish, but it still has quite a kick. You can garnish with sprouts, fresh cilantro, carrot and pepper strips, and edamame. Serve over hot rice."

Despite my marinating the salmon for a few hours in the fridge, the flavor did not really come thru. Pretty good tasting fish. Thank you for posting.
