2 tsp. soy sauce, low sodium
2 tsp. brown sugar

Preheat grill for medium heat. Place salmon on the preheated grill, and discard leftover marinade. Cook salmon for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. (May also be baked: bake in aluminum foil on cookie sheet at 425 F for about 15 minutes, or until flakes easily with a fork). Serve with bowtie pasta.
