- Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over salmon, trapping the juice inside the leaf.
- Top with one lemon slice and two dill sprigs.
- Place the second leaf over salmon, curved side facing down.
- Fold the edges of the bottom leaf up around the top leaf to keep the juices trapped.
- Wrap the twine several times around the entire length of the package to hold it together.

- Turn and cook for another 6 minutes.
