For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a drizzle of white wine or a splash of soy sauce to the parchment packet before sealing. Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as dill, thyme, or rosemary in place of, or in addition to, the basil. Ensure the parchment paper is large enough to fully enclose the salmon without being too tight, allowing room for steam to circulate. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
