• 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

• Salt & pepper to taste

• 1 1/2 tsp. fresh rosemary leaves minced

Spray broiler pan or grill with the cooking spray. Pre-heat oven broiler or grill. Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary. Brush mixture on both sides of the fish. Place fish under the broiler or on the grill. Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes per half-inch of thickness or until fish is flaky in the middle. Cut salmon into 3-4 inch chunks.

Salad

• 6 oz. bag spring salad mix or your favorite mix

• 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced, then cut in half

• 1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced

• 1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

• 1 cup croutons

• Vinaigrette or your favorite salad dressing to taste
