Garlicky Broiled Salmon and Tomatoes

What's not to like? The thyme and garlic did char though, so perhaps I'll keep the garlic whole and in the peel next time.

I tried this recipe this morning. Couldn't sleep @ 3 am and had some salmon thawed in fridge and decided to cook it. Surfed the Web and found this recipe. I must say it was very tasty. I subbed vegetable oil for the olive and Mrs. Dash Italian Medley seasoning for the fresh thyme. Oh also I used grape tomatoes instead of large tomatoes. The only reason I subbed these ingredients is that I used what I had available. The recipe still came out great. I read the suggestions in the previous comments and took them into account also. Do crack your oven door if you don't want burned garlic! When my family wakes up I'm sure they will want to know why the house smells like garlic!

My family loved this recipe--even my 3 year old ate it. I used a mixture of different types of tomatoes that I had in my garden, and they all turned out well and done at the same time. It's such a simple recipe but it's incredibly delicious! I agree with someone else about the garlic--some of our garlic ended up getting a little charred, but that was the only thing that did. I'm going to take the advice of another reviewer and prop my oven door open slightly and see how it does.

This was fantastic! I did not change a thing ingredient-wise with this recipe, and it was so flavorful. I did, however, bake it rather than broil. My husband and daughter (6 years old) loved it as well!

I cooked this today. Thanks MrsMiles for that advice of keeping the oven open when broiling. It worked.

I keep my oven open about an inch when broiling. I don't know why it works, but it also prevents burning food since I can smell it before it reaches that stage.

I did not care for this recipe for the following reasons: 1.) The broiler burnt the garlic sprinkled on top. The broiler was set to low, and the rack was placed at the top setting. 2.) The tomatoes were not done in time with the salmon. My medium-sized tomatoes require an extra 2-3 minutes. I may use the broiler for salmon again, but I will change out the seasonings or create a wet rub.

Do you set the broiler on High, Med, or Low??
