Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place fish or chicken in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over the protein, turning to coat evenly.
- Seal bag or cover dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for fish or 4 hours for chicken.
- Remove protein from marinade and discard excess marinade. Cook as desired (grill, bake, or pan-sear).
Tips
- For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
- Marinate fish no longer than 2 hours to prevent the acid from 'cooking' the fish.
- Store leftover marinade in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; do not reuse marinade that has touched raw protein.
