Steps:
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
- Pour oil into a medium bowl. Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry. Dip fillets into oil, being sure to coat both sides, and place skin-side down into the prepared baking pan. Squeeze as much juice as you can from 1 lemon half over the fillets. Coat both sides of salmon with parsley, oregano, basil, and garlic, and sprinkle with 1/2 of the kosher salt.
- Place under the preheated broiler and cook until center is light pink and edges are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove fillets from the oven and immediately plate. Squeeze remaining lemon half over top and sprinkle with remaining kosher salt. Serve with lemon slices.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Fresh, wild-caught salmon is the best choice for this recipe. Look for salmon that is firm to the touch and has a bright pink or orange color.
- Cook the salmon properly. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Don't overcook it, or it will become dry and tough.
- Use fresh oregano. Fresh oregano has a much more intense flavor than dried oregano. If you can't find fresh oregano, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dried oregano for every 3 tablespoons of fresh oregano.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. For example, you could add some lemon zest, red pepper flakes, or chopped nuts to the salmon.
Conclusion:
Salmon with oregano is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
