Grilled Salmon with Tomatoes & Basil

I didn't expect this simple topping to make such a difference in flavor, but, it did, in a really good way! The salmon retained its moisture and absorbed some of the garlic, basil, tomatoe-y flavors. A nice change.

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.

Moist and Easy, Perfectly Grilled Salmon Great for when it's too hot to cook indoors, this second time I used it for salmon tacos. The beauty of this recipe is the thin sliced tomatoes hold the moisture in while grilling. I used a grill with holes in it instead of the foil. By heating the grill to very hot, then using a paper towel soaked in corn oil, the salmon didn't stick. My salmon steaks were very thick and needed extra grilling, which I did for the entire time on the unlit side of the gas BBQ. In spite of the extra time, they were so moist. Please use fresh basil, so much better than dried. Pros: Stays moist, perfect flesh when using wild caught salmon

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

Easy and delicious So easy and delicious! I have celiac disease and this is another wonderful gluten free recipie.This also produced a very elegant plated meal perfect for company. I cooked it in foil on the gas grill using wild king salmon. It was perfection! Pros: Gluten free

Great Summer Night Dinner! You must use the wild caught salmon. Much much better flavor! I don't have a grill either so I baked it in the oven with my vegetables. (I had Eatingwell's roasted cauliflower) I had my oven at 450F and baked salmon for 20 minutes. Pros: Easy to cook.

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.

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!

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.

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.
