Line the oven tray with enough foil to cover the salmon generously.

Zest and juice one of the lemons and slice the other two.
Chop a tablespoon of the tarragon and put the remaining leaves on the foil, then lay the salmon on top.
Melt the butter, add the lemon juice and coat the salmon.
Season with the salt and pepper.
Arrange the lemon slices over the top then sprinkle over the chopped tarragon and lemon zest.
Pull together the long foil edges and fold them over, leaving plenty of air in the parcel. Fold over the ends.
