Very good and easy. I won’t add extra garlic. But will make again really yummy.
Neither my husband nor I are wild about salmon but are making a concerted effort to eat more of it. This dish was a winner. My husband pronounced it “a good use of salmon” and said we should eat it once a month which is effusive praise for anything involving salmon. I affirmatively liked it — also high praise. I served it over polenta with a bit of parmesan mixed into the polenta. I used olive oil instead of garlic oil. I used two fist-sized Roma tomatoes. Two thumbs up.
Excellent. I tasted the sauce/dish before I changed things and it was delicious. I also didn’t have garlic oil so added extra while initially cooking the salmon. But I also added wine and butter as suggested near the end of cooking. I didn’t have hot sauce so added some red pepper flakes. I licked the plate. I think the wine and butter caused the plate licking, but it was delicious before that.
This was so good. Thank you so much to all the reviewers because that is what made me want to make it. I didn’t have the garlic oil but looked it up and smashed a garlic clove and marinated it in the olive oil and then discarded the clove after 10 minutes. not sure if that is garlic oil but tasted amazing. Didn’t use more than 2 dashes of hot sauce as I was worried it would overpower. I did cut the salmon into cubes like it said, just excellent. Served with rice and a bed of spinach. Super fast recipe. Thank you so much!
Very easy and very tasty! Ate it over brown rice. The flavor reminds me of shrimp scampi.
This turned out really good!
Amazing Fish dish! The only thing I changed is that I used grape tomatoes instead of whole. So good. I’ll make this again.
I used olive oil instead of garlic oil since that’s all I had on hand, otherwise followed the recipe ingredients. I had 3 hungry eaters so I made 3 fillets and added more of each ingredient accordingly. So delicious. Everyone loved it!!
Wonderful combination of spices. Tomatoes taste fresh and, as another reviewer stated, do not overwhelm the dish. Consider making the sauce in a skillet and then baking salmon in the oven, topped with the sauce.
All the stars! I wanted try something a little different with salmon and this fit the bill. I followed the recipe, but tossed in some fresh baby spinach at the end for color. Plus the spinach made it a complete meal in one bowl. Everyone enjoyed it and my growing adolescent had two helpings.
This is ridiculous good and easy. I didn’t have dill, paprika, or hot sauce; everything else was fresh. It was amazing, although it pained me to break up the salmon.
I’m not a fan of salmon but my son is doing keto so I made this for him without the rice and it’s really good. I would eat salmon this way anytime!! So good and easy!!
This was fabulous! I made minimal simple changes…per a review (to marinate in soy sauce) I marinated the salmon in a mixture of tamari (50% less sodium) with the dill and paprika for an hour or so. I heated the garlic oil and sautéed red onion before adding the salmon…. I wondered about leaving the skins on but I love the skins and they blended in well. At this point I added cayenne because I ran out of hot sauce (who knew!) I used a can of fire roasted tomato with garlic including juices (because reviews suggested more of a sauce) with the lemon juice. I used fresh parsley and real parm. I served over orzo and the BF and I just loved it! Wow! Thank you for sharing!
Turned out fine -here’s a pic…. still simmering for a final few minutes but I can already tell it’s going to be out of this world!
So so so yummy!!! I was amazed at just how delicious this was. It was so easy to make! The salmon filet I used had its skin on and gave it a little more of a fishy taste than I like so I’ll use skinless next time. But I will be making it again and again. This is my favorite way to eat salmon
I kept the salmon whole and put the tomatoes in a separate pan. Then split the butter, parsley, and and parmesan cheese between the tomato pan and the salmon pan. Topped the rice with the tomatoes and placed the salmon on top! It was soooo delicious! Definitely added to my favorites to make again!
The photo is misleading. you can clearly see a salmon filet and diced tomatoes mix on the side. I seasoned salmon with salt, pepper, paprika and dill, then cooked until flaky. Set in oven to keep warm. Cooked garlic in butter, then added diced tomatoes, lemon juice, hot sauce, and parmesan cheese for few minutes. Served tomato mix over salmon. gave 5 stars for the combination of flavors but 3 stars for recipe directions. averaged 4.

Made it as directed but without the dill (didn’t have it) and it was OUTSTANDING! Fresh, healthy, but rich tasting from the little bit of butter and the cheese. I will be making this a lot.
This was wonderful! I served it with pasta and used fresh tomatoes from the garden. So good!
My fiancée and I loved it!!! Will definitely make it again soon. Loved the leftovers for lunch the next day.
