- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano

Brush a tablespoon of olive oil over the salmon fillets on both sides.

Serve the salmon with a spoonful of salsa on top.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it as soon as it’s cooked.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh lemon juice, garlic, and herbs make a significant difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Don’t Overcook the Salmon: Cook the salmon just until it flakes easily with a fork to keep it moist and tender.
- Marinate for Extra Flavor: Allow the salmon to marinate in the lemon-garlic mixture for at least 15 minutes before cooking.
