    Cut four large squares of baking paper and divide the courgette slices between them.

  3. 3

    Place a salmon fillet on top of each, season well and drizzle with the olive oil.

  4. 4

    Top each with a few lemon slices, a thyme sprig and some parsley.

  5. 5

    Fold up the paper into sealed parcels and place on a baking tray.
