Place the lemon slices on top of the fish.

Fold the long edges of the parchment over several times; fold in the sides. Crimp the edges to seal. Place the packages on the hot baking sheet and bake the fish for 13 minutes (about 13 minutes per inch of thickness for this method of cooking). Let each person unfold the individual serving of fish.
