If parchment paper is available, you do not to need two sheets, nor to oil it. Place one fillet of salmon on the paper. Twist 2 opposite corners of the paper to close the ends so the juice won't run out. Bring the remaining corners up over the salmon. Twist the ends together forming a tent. By leaving two sides open, it enhances the grilling function. Do the same thing for the remaining salmon slices. Making 4 "boats".
