12 oz fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillets, 3/4 inch thick
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh oregano and cilantro
1/4 cup sliced green onion
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Thaw salmon, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut into two (6-oz) pieces. Set aside. In 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 herb mixture. Cook salmon on rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals for 6 to 8 minutes or until salmon just begins to flake easily with a fork. To serve, cut each salmon piece in half. Serves 4
