Garlic, ginger & sesame marinade

While it may still be a little cool to grill outside, this delicious marinade can be used on baked chicken or fish, too.  The combination of sesame, soy and ginger is delightful.  Serve it with sauteed green beans or stir fried peppers and onions over brown rice or quinoa.  If you're not a fish fan, the marinade also works on flank steak and chicken.
