- Top with one fillet of salmon for each piece of foil.
- In a bowl mix together the melted butter, 2 tablespoons parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour a large spoonful over each salmon fillet.
- Fold up the foil in half towards itself and fold down several times. Now fold the ends in towards the top of the packet.
