Step-by-Step Instructions for Delicious Greek Salmon

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather salmon fillets and ingredients needed for marinade.
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on a lined baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, dill, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Generously brush the marinade over each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Bake for about 15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is golden on top.
Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
