1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, divided
3 teaspoons minced garlic, divided

Heat grill. Sprinkle both sides of lamb with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the mint and 1 teaspoon of the garlic, patting to adhere. Spray lamb lightly with cooking spray.
