Soy and Sesame Seed Grilled Salmon

Salmon is one of the top 10 power foods and should be eaten 1-2 times a week.  I make this dish every week not only because it is one of my favorite meals (Joey's as well) but because Salmon can be eaten without the fear of to much murcury.  It is also a great source of protein, healthy fats, and just 4 oz. provides a whole days worth of vitamin D. There is not a whole lot of others foods that have as many health benefits as Salmon. 

I like to buy a large piece each week fresh from the sea food counter a day or two before I am going to cook it.  Frozen fish just doesn't tastes as good to me.  I look for a piece that will be enough to serve myself and my husband as well as have enough for to put on a salad for lunch later that week. 
This recipe can be prepared and on the table within 30 min. 

1.  Put foil down on a baking dish.  Spray with olive oil.  Put salmon on top of the foil.
2. Mix in a small bowl 1 tbsp. minced garlic and about 1\2 (depending on the size of your filet) cup of light soy sauce. Pour over fish.
3. Sprinkle ground pepper and Sesame seeds on top of fish. Bake or grill for about 20  min or until done. 
*Serve with some green veggies and a side of  brown rice or whole wheat couscous.
