Recipe Notes

• I prefer to squeeze my own fresh lemon juice, but you can use bottled lemon juice in a pinch.

• You can use fresh oregano or dried oregano.

• Garnish with fresh lemon slices, if desired.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave.

Here's how to make it:

1. Place the salmon filet in a casserole dish or baking pan (I lined mine with aluminum foil for easier cleanup). In a small mixing bowl or measuring cup, add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic and oregano. Whisk to blend.
2. Pour the sauce over the salmon. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
3. Bake the salmon at 375 degrees F for about 15 minutes, or until desired doneness. Salmon is done when it reaches 145 degrees F on a food thermometer.
4. Remove from oven, garnish and serve with your favorite side dishes.
