Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the dish. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle with minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Notes

Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. Don't overcook the salmon; aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
