Quick Salmon and a Side

Any recipe that promises to be quick and has garlic in it goes to the top of my list. Plan on serving with another veggie dish and you'll have a light, scrumptious meal.

Garlicky Broiled Salmon and Tomatoes (Real Simple, September 2008)

4 6-ounce pieces skinless salmon fillet
4 medium tomatoes, cut in half
½ t paprika, preferably hot
2 T olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
8 sprigs fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic, sliced

1. Heat broiler. Place the salmon and tomatoes, cut side up, in a broiler proof roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the salmon with the paprika.
2. Drizzle the salmon and tomatoes with the olive oil and season with ¾ t salt and ¼ t pepper. Scatter the thyme and garlic over the top.
3. Broil until the salmon is opaque throughout and the tomatoes are tender, 8-10 minutes.
