My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this. He is really picky but he raved about how awesome this was from the first bite and told me that we should definitely make it again. We halved the recipe using two frozen filets (250 grams total) because it's hard and expensive to get fresh salmon where we live. We don't have a grill either so I wrapped the fish in foil put it in a grill pan and cooked it over the stove for around 8 minutes. It turned out great.
What to do with the tomatoes my neighbor handed me today? Since I wanted to cook salmon for dinner I was delighted to find this recipe using tomatoes with the added WOW of garlic and basil. It's a keeper for sure.
Very easy recipe. Lots of flavor. I thawed individual salmon portions from the freezer and cooked them on a stove-top grilling skillet to avoid time and mess of firing up the outdoor grill. Great quick-easy-tasty dish. Lovely presentation adds a little cheer on those days when you are exhausted after work.
Ok I usually mess up any dinner I fix but this came out perfect! Needed to cook little longer but that is because our gas grill was turned down too low.. used some heirloom tomatoes from a good friends garden and basil I have on our deck! Absolutely perfect dinner!
Moist Tender and Gorgeous I had fresh home grown tomatoes and basil. I shopped for fresh (not frozen) WILD salmon. I got a long fillet and followed the tip to remove a few minor bones. Mine looked as good as the photo and tasted even better. I served it to company and they loved it. We also had fresh green beans corn on the cob crusty fresh sourdough bread and a green salad. Pros: Easy Easy Easy and fast!
I grilled our fresh wild caught sockeye salmon fillet on a cedar plank. The only difficulty I had was with the cooking time. The cedar plank may have extended the time but the slices of tomato seemed to keep it from cooking as quickly as well. But once it hit my mouth! Wow. I used Brandywine tomatoes from the local farmers' market and fresh basil from my garden and it was so good with the cedar flavor infused in it that I almost CRIED. Absolutely amazing.
Most often repeated Eating Well recipe! I have made this dish going on three times now since I first made it a month ago. It is just perfect! So easy fresh and healthy! I highly recommend splurging and getting a good thick cut of salmon fresh from the seafood counter for this (none of those freezer-packed filets) if you can afford it. Pros: easy few ingredients fresh delicious healthy Cons: good salmon can be a little pricey
I have never liked salmon... until now! I used sustainable wild-caught Alaskan Sockeye Salmon. Instead of grilling I put the salmon in foil and baked at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. I also did not have "fresh" basil so I used organic dried basil. Superb!
Absolutely delicious! Very easy; I'd say this is a no-fail recipe!
