Salmon Melting Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon each salt and black pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste darkens, about 1 minute.
• Add the cherry tomatoes to the saucepan, mashing a few with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes split and soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the salmon to the saucepan in a single layer. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until the salmon is opaque throughout and flakes easily when a paring knife is inserted between the layers, 7 to 9 minutes. Serve the salmon in shallow bowls with the tomato sauce ladled over.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the rice and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 20 minutes.
• Heat the garlic oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon with salt, pepper, dill, and paprika, and cook in the hot oil 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until tender enough to break apart. Break salmon into cubes with a spatula or fork. Mix in the tomatoes, garlic, and lemon juice. Continue cooking until salmon is easily flaked with a fork.
• Mix the parsley, Parmesan cheese, butter, and hot pepper sauce into the skillet, and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes, until well mixed. Serve over the cooked rice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss together oil, tomatoes, garlic, and 4 basil leaves. Season with salt. Bake until tomatoes are just wilted, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 275 degrees.
• Season salmon with salt and pepper; place, skin-side down, in dish with tomatoes. Spoon pan juices over fish and bake until just cooked through and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 120 degrees, about 15 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with remaining basil leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Cut the tomatoes into 8 slices, 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Place in a shallow baking dish or on a small sheet pan. Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper, drizzle with the olive oil and put a thyme sprig on top of each. Bake until very tender and lightly browned around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes. Discard the thyme and set the tomatoes aside; keep the oven on.
• Meanwhile, combine the salmon, shallot, celery, mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, lemon juice and all but 2 tablespoons of the scallion greens in a medium bowl. Flake the salmon and stir until combined. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Arrange the toasted English muffin halves on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with the salmon mixture (about a heaping 1/4 cup per muffin half). Top each with a slice of cheese and a roasted tomato slice and bake until the cheese is just melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with the reserved scallion greens.

Steps:

• For each of 4 packages, place one 12-inch-long sheet of aluminum foil on top of another. Smear top sheet with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, and layer a fillet of salmon, 6 tomato halves, salt and pepper, 4 basil leaves and another half tablespoon oil. Seal package by folding foil onto itself and crimping edges tightly. Repeat to make other packages, and refrigerate until ready to cook, no more than 24 hours later.
• When you are ready to cook, heat oven to 500 degrees. Place packages in a roasting pan. (Or they can be cooked on top of the stove in 2 skillets over medium-high heat.) Cook 5 minutes (for medium-rare) to 8 minutes from the time the mixture starts to sizzle, or roughly 10 to 12 minutes total.
• Let packages rest a minute, and cut a slit along the top with a knife. Use a knife and fork to open the package. Spoon the salmon, garnish and juices onto a plate, and serve.
