- Prepare the Lemon-Oregano Dressing: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. While the pan heats, mince the garlic. Cut a lemon in half and grill it, cut-side down, for 5 to 6 minutes, until lightly charred and juicy. Measure out 2 tablespoons of the grilled lemon juice. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, grilled lemon juice, fresh oregano, minced garlic, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
