  • Season salmon with salt and pepper and arrange on top of lemon slices.
  • In a small bowl, whisk garlic, butter, honey, oregano, and thyme. Pour over salmon, then fold up parchment and foil around salmon.
  • Bake salmon until opaque, cooked through, and flesh easily flakes with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  • Turn on broiler. Broil salmon, watching closely, until browned in spots, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Transfer lemons and salmon to a platter. Top with parsley.
