Here's one of my favorite recipes. It's fairly easy to do, wonderfully delicious, and perfect for impressing guests. It's from Cooking Light, so I don't know about the rules of sending it to all my friends. But what good is a recipe if you can't share it?

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup beer
3/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
4 (6 ounce) salmon filets
Vegetable cooking spray
Cilantro Coconut Chutney (below)

Combine first 7 ingredients in an 11x7-inch baking dish; stir well with a wire whisk. Add salmon, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, turning occasionally.
