Ingredients

4 lemons, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 large red onion, sliced
2 (8 ounce) salmon fillets
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
½ teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Put two large squares of aluminum foil onto a large, flat work surface.
Make a bed of lemon slices in the center of each foil square; top with red onion. Lay a salmon fillet atop each pile of lemon slices and onion; season with basil, dill, and sea salt. Fold edges of the aluminum foil over the salmon and seal completely.
Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 25 minutes.
Remove salmon from foil pouch, place on plate, and drizzle juices from foil pouch over the fish.
