Very easy to make and tastes great
Super quick and easy salmon dish!
This recipe was perfect and easy. I used dried basil on the fish but sprinkled some fresh leaves over it just before serving.
This was very good, nice and light dish
So amazing! Just loved it!! Used fresh basil, that is a must flavors were amazing!!!
I used fresh lemon basil and Thai Basil and layered that over the salmon, then topped with the sliced tomato and fresh parmesan. Turned out pretty good! Will make again because it was simple and have the ingredients growing in the garden!
very good, easy and presents well – hubby loved the tomatoes! used fresh basil instead of dried
This is a good, healthy way to enjoy fresh garden tomatoes! I did sprinkle some grated Parmesan in the baking dish before laying the salmon down; sprinkled some garlic pepper on top, and turned oven up to broil for last 5-7 minutes of the 20 min baking time – all minor changes. Thanks for the recipe!
The only thing that took this from “Didnt like it” to an OK was that it was quick.
Added a little salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste along with the basil. Also followed the suggestion of broiling it for a bit to brown up the top a bit. My husband (a professional line cook for four decades) LOVED it! This is a great meal for just two people. I paired it with some Garlic and Herb rice, and a simple salad. Delicious!
Was very good. Made for my mother who loves tomato but is “meh” for salmon. She really liked it. I normally don’t like putting veggies and such on top of fish as it slows the cook time and parts of the fish cooks unevenly. The olive oil kept things moist and really grabbed the basil flavor.
Light and delicious! The fresh basil and tomato enhance the flavor of the salmon.
Delicious, excellent for hot weather. Followed the recipe as written, using Arctic char fillets and fresh basil, except that we didn’t oil the aluminum foil. We never do … we prefer it if the skin sticks to the foil.
Very easy to put together and delicious to eat!
This was very good! Hubby raved about it. Think I’ll dice up the tomato next time so I have a better chance of tasting it in each bite. I did throw on just a bit of garlic powder first, followed by the other ingredients. Hubby said, “This is restaurant quality.”
Followed suggestions listed – seasoned salmon with garlic powder, salt, pepper, then added parmesan, then layered fresh basil, tomato, olive oil, and more parmesan. Overall it could’ve used MORE flavor. Maybe using dried basil as indicated would have helped, or just more seasoning. But definitely worth trying again!
Loved it! I followed the recipe except I didn’t have a whole tomato so I used cherry tomatoes that I sliced in quarters. I’ve added this recipe to my favorites. Mouth-watering deliciousness.
Best salmon and it looks so elegant. Hardest thing is slicing a tomato! Perfect on my diet. While I love the recipes calling for soy sauce, maple syrup, etc. and other marinades, the salt isn’t good for me. This is low salt, no sugar and still delicious. I get complements every time. Thanks!
I made it exactly as the recipe read. It was easy and tasty. Part of my repertoire now.
Didn’t change a thing and it was delicious. Definitely added to the list.
