Ginger Salmon

I mixed this dish up a little with Near East Long Grain and Wild Rice (Original) and a mixed salad coated with red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Normally this dish is served over a layer of Basmati Rice and mixed greens however, you can pair this salmon with almost anything! Enjoy...
