12 ounces of fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillets, 3/4 inch thick
1/3 cup of coarsely chopped fresh oregano

Thaw salmon, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry
with paper towels. Cut the salmon into two 6 ounce pieces, set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor or a mini-chopper, combine oregano,
cilantro, green onion, garlic, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Cover and
process until chopped. (Or, use a knife to finely chop oregano, cilantro,
green onion, and garlic. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Stir in lemon juice,
oil, salt, and pepper.) Generously coat both sides of salmon with the herb
mixture.
Cook the salmon on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot
coals for 6 to 8 minutes or until the salmon just begins to flake easily
with a fork. To serve, cut each salmon piece in half. Makes 4 servings.
