Tons at this site.

Mediterranean style grilled

1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 cod fillets, each 6 ounces
Cracked black pepper, to taste
4 green olives, chopped
4 thin slices lemon

Directions
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 minced garlic, basil, parsley and lemon juice.

Place aluminum foil on a baking sheet or a grill-pan designed for grilling seafood. Spray with cooking spray. Place fish on aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Top each fillet with equal amounts of the garlic mixture. Sprinkle with black pepper.

Grill over medium heat, turning once, until the fish is opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife, about 10 minutes.

Garnish with green olives and lemon slices. Serve on warmed plates.

What are some other healthy cooking options for my salmon?

I usually just season it & then lightly grill it in a little bit of canola oil.

All of these recipes are healthy and very tasty, too:

Spicy Garlic Salmon

* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1 dried red chile pepper
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
* 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
* sea salt to taste
* freshly ground black pepper
* 2 (6 ounce) fillets salmon

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a medium baking dish with aluminum foil. Lightly grease foil.
2. With a mortar and pestle, grind together the garlic, chile pepper, and olive oil. Mix into a thick paste with the mustard, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, and coat with the paste mixture.
3. Bake salmon 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

Cedar Plank Salmon
* 1 (12 inch) cedar plank
* 2 tablespoons sesame oil
* 3 tablespoons brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
* 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
* 3 tablespoons water
* 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, with skin
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
* 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)

1. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 2 hours and up to 12.
2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
3. Place the salmon on the plank, skin side down. In a small bowl, stir together the sesame oil, brown sugar, dill weed and sesame seeds. Stir in just enough water to make it liquid. Season with pepper and soy sauce if desired. Spoon the mixture over the salmon so it is fully coated.
4. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fillet can be flaked with a fork.

Greek Style Baked Salmon
* 8 (5 ounce) salmon fillets, with skin
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 4 plum tomatoes, diced
* 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
* 1/4 red onion, diced
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
* 4 kalamata olives, sliced
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice

1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Brush each salmon fillet on all sides with olive oil and arrange into the bottom of a glass baking dish with the skin side facing down. Scatter the tomatoes, feta cheese, onion, basil, and olives over the fillets; sprinkle with the lemon juice.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.
