Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lemon slices, for garnish
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Marinate for 15 minutes or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (or heat a grill pan on the stovetop).
- Remove salmon from the marinade and place skin-side down on the grill.
- Cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Use dill or basil instead of oregano for a different flavor.
Add white wine or red pepper flakes to the marinade for variations.
Can be baked at 400°F for 12–15 minutes instead of grilling.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months.
Avoid over-marinating, as lemon juice can break down the fish.
