Leftover Salmon Melt Food

SALMON MELTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Cut the tomatoes into 8 slices, 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Place in a shallow baking dish or on a small sheet pan. Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper, drizzle with the olive oil and put a thyme sprig on top of each. Bake until very tender and lightly browned around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes. 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.
• Arrange the toasted English muffin halves on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with the salmon mixture (about a heaping 1/4 cup per muffin half). 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.
