SLOW-BAKED SALMON AND CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss together oil, tomatoes, garlic, and 4 basil leaves. Season with salt. Bake until tomatoes are just wilted, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 275 degrees.

SALMON MELTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Heat the butter or oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, seasoning with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Sauté on medium heat until the onions and garlic are softened and cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
• In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the cooked salmon until it's flaky. (You can also used canned salmon or tuna, mash with a fork as well.) Add the cooked onions and garlic, the capers, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, fresh herbs, salt and ground black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
• Place the sliced bread on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast the bread until it's lightly golden. Take out of the oven and use the sliced garlic cloves to rub all over the surface of each of the slices of bread. The garlic will rub right into the toasted bread (the crisp bread will sort of be a grating surface for the garlic). This gives the sandwiches a pleasant and mild garlic flavor without being too overpowering.
• Top the toasted bread with the salmon filling, spreading it out evenly over the bread. Place a slice of tomato and/or avocado on top of the salmon filling and then top with grated cheese.
• Bake in the oven for another 7-10 minutes, until the sandwiches are warmed through and the cheese is melted.
