An easy to make seafood dish, my Salmon with Lemon and Oregano uses my two favorite ingredients and is ready in only 20 minutes.
I love salmon, and so does my family! It’s an easy fish that even my kids enjoy. Super rich in omega-3 ،ty acids, high in protein, and various vitamins and nutrients, you’ll hardly find a healthier option for your dinner table. And when it comes to seafood, you can’t find a much easier dish to make than my Salmon with Lemon and Oregano.
Ingredients
- Salmon fillets: Like previously mentioned, salmon is very healthy for you, and is rich and slightly oily in flavor. My favorite is wild salmon, as it’s lower in ، but higher in iron and calcium.
- Lemon zest: As long as you don’t zest too far into the white, lemon zest is intensely citrusy in flavor wit،ut being bitter.
- Dried oregano: Bold and earthy in flavor, oregano is used in many cuisines around the world.
- Garlic: Spicy, nutty, and earthy, it sweetens up as it is cooked.
- Salt & pepper: Balances off the flavors and makes for a well-rounded, delicious dish.
How to Make Salmon with Lemon and Oregano
S، your Salmon with Lemon and Oregano by patting your salmon dry and laying the fillets on a prepared sheet pan or grill plate.
Then use a microplane or grater to zest your lemon into a small bowl.
Then grate your garlic into the same bowl.
Drizzle in the olive oil.
And add the dried oregano, before giving a little stir.
Then brush or spread the ،e mix over the salmon fillets.
Then broil in the oven or toss on the grill for 8-10 minutes. Serve with fresh lemon slices so you can squeeze the lemon juice over the cooked fish, and enjoy your Salmon with Lemon and Oregano!
