Asian Grilled Salmon

This looks like a really great simple recipe for Salmon that my friend Jessica Jasa has shared with me. Try it out and let me know if you like it! :)

2 medium sized fresh salmon filets, boned and skinless(about 1.5 pounds)
For the marinade:
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons good soy sauce
6 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Light the grill and brush the grilling rack with oil to keep the salmon from sticking. While the grill is heating, whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.

Place the salmon on hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it sits. Transfer the fish to a flat plate, and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. Serve with fresh veggies and rice.
