Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
- Toss the onion, lemon and garlic with a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Spread the mixture in the center of a 24-inch-long piece of heavy-duty foil. Put the salmon on top of the onion mixture, drizzle with the butter and sprinkle with the Italian seasoning and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Bring the 2 long sides of foil together and fold over twice to seal. Bring the ends of the foil in and crimp to seal, leaving a bit of room for steam to circulate inside.
- Place the packet on the grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Careful of the steam, open the packet and check the salmon. It should be mostly opaque with a slightly rosy center. Transfer the package to a cutting board and set aside for about 5 minutes.
- Cut the salmon into 4 equal pieces and transfer to 4 plates. Evenly spoon the onions, lemons and collected juices over the salmon.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillets: Look for fillets that are about 6 ounces each, with the skin on and the bones removed.
- Season the salmon well: Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- Use a good quality aluminum foil: Make sure the foil is thick enough to prevent the salmon from sticking to the grill, which will likely cause the salmon to break.
- Fold the foil packets tightly: Fold the foil packets tightly around the salmon fillets, leaving no gaps for steam to escape.
- Grill the salmon packets over medium heat: Cook the salmon packets over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
- Let the salmon packets rest before serving: Let the salmon packets rest for 5 minutes before serving, to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.
Conclusion:
Grilled salmon packets are an easy and delicious way to cook salmon. They are perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal, or for a special occasion dinner. Serve the salmon packets with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or salad.
