Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Line a baking tray / sheet with a large piece of foil, big enough to fold over and seal to create a packet (or 2 long pieces of foil over lapping each other lengthways to create a salmon packet, depending on the width of the fillet).
-
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Turn off heat; whisk in the lemon juice and brown sugar.
-
Place the salmon onto a lined baking tray. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the lemon butter over the salmon, and using a spoon, spread evenly over the salmon.
-
Sprinkle with parsley and dill. Arrange lemon slices over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon to cover and completely seal the packet closed.
-
Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until cooked through.
-
Open the foil, being careful of any escaping steam, and grill/broil under the grill/broiler for 2 to 3 minutes on medium heat. Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve immediately.
