Suitable for all Freedom and FastTrack meal plans

Ingredients:
1 serving Salmon fillet
1 Tbsp fresh Basil, chopped
½ Tbsp fresh Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp juice from a fresh Lemon
Cracked Black Pepper, to taste
Sliced Lemon
Unflavored Non-Stick Cooking Spray

Preparation:
Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill or broiler. Away from the heat source, lightly coat the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray. Position the cooking rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.

In a small bowl, combine the basil, parsley, minced garlic and lemon juice. Spray the fish with cooking spray. Sprinkle with black pepper. Top each fillet with equal amounts of the herb-garlic mixture. Place the fish herb-side down on the grill. Grill over high heat. When the edges turn white, after about 3 to 4 minutes, turn the fish over and place on aluminum foil. Move the fish to a cooler part of the grill or reduce the heat. Grill until the fish is opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fish reads 145 F (about 4 minutes longer).

Remove the salmon and place on warmed plates. Garnish with lemon slices.
