Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb salmon fillets, skin removed, cut into 4 serving pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 medium lemon, cut into 1/8-inch slices (about 12)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Place salmon piece on center of each sheet. Brush 1/2 tablespoon oil over both sides of each salmon piece. Sprinkle each piece with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place about 3 lemon slices flat or overlapping on each piece.
Bring up 2 sides of foil over salmon so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
Place packets on grill over medium-low heat. Cover grill; cook 13 to 16 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after about 7 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with fork.
To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle with parsley.
