- Using a container that has a lid, mix the lemon juice, oregano, olive oil, salt and garlic. Once the ingredients are mixed, add the fish.
- Put the lid on the container (make sure it's sealed!), and shake to combine. Let this marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Turn the fish and marinate for an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove the fish and use some of the marinade to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Heat on medium and add the fish and cook through. You can also cook the fish on the grill if you prefer.
