Steps:
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet big enough to fit all halloumi slices.
- Once oil is hot but not smoking, add halloumi. Cook until well browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until browned, about 3 minutes. Pour lemon juice over browned halloumi and let reduce slightly.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with oregano. Serve hot.
