Salmon with Lemon, Capers, and Rosemary

Omega-3!  That seems to be all the rave nowadays.  But why is it good for you?  And what does Salmon have to offer?

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions: 
1.  Brush top and bottom of salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and rosemary.

3.  Wrap up salmon tightly in the foil packets.

4.  Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
