Best Baked Tomatoes Stuffed With Salmon Garlic Capers Recipes

BAKED TOMATOES STUFFED WITH SALMON, GARLIC, AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Drain the capers if packed in vinegar. Soak, rinse, and drain if packed in salt, then chop fine. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the salmon's skin, any loose membranes, and carefully pick out all the bones. Dice the fish finely and put it in a bowl, together with 2 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, the chopped parsley, garlic, capers, 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs, salt, and several grindings of black pepper. Toss thoroughly. Wash the tomatoes, cut them horizontally in half, and scoop out all the seeds and the centers to make a cup-like hollow. Pat the insides of the tomatoes with paper towels to soak up excess juice, then stuff the tomatoes with the salmon mixture, pressing it down lightly as you do so. There should be enough to form a mound. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining bread crumbs and drizzle with the remaining olive oil, holding back a few drops of the oil to smear the bottom of a baking pan. Place the tomatoes in the oiled baking pan and bake in the upper level of the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the salmon stuffing has formed a light golden crust. Serve not piping hot, but lukewarm. The dish is also good later, not reheated but at room temperature.;

TOMATOES STUFFED WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS AND SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Slice the top off of each tomato. Hollow out each tomato, leaving a firm shell; reserve. (Discard the caps and pulp or reserve for another purpose).
• Whisk the liquid eggs with the dill, onion, salt and pepper until well combined. Melt the margarine in a large, non-stick skillet and set over MEDIUM HEAT. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, without stirring, for 1 minute. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes or until eggs are fluffy and almost set; remove from heat. Gently stir in the salmon and capers.
• Scoop an equal portion of the egg mixture evenly into each hollowed tomato; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle each tomato evenly with goat cheese. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is browned. Garnish with additional smoked salmon and dill (if using).
