Discard the thyme and set the tomatoes aside; keep the oven on.
• Meanwhile, combine the salmon, shallot, celery, mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, lemon juice and all but 2 tablespoons of the scallion greens in a medium bowl. Flake the salmon and stir until combined. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Top each with a slice of cheese and a roasted tomato slice and bake until the cheese is just melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with the reserved scallion greens.
