Ingredients

10 oz cherry tomatoes, quartered

4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 small shallot, finely chopped

2 tbsp black olive tapenade

0.5 tsp salt

8 basil leaves

4 thyme sprigs

black pepper to taste

4 (12x18-inch) pieces aluminum foil

7 oz salmon filets, skin removed

Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and oil the grate. Close the cover.

In a bowl, mix together tomatoes, olive oil, shallot, tapenade, salt, basil, thyme, and pepper.

Lay out foil on a flat surface, shiny side up. Place each salmon fillet in the center of a piece of foil. Top each fillet with one-fourth of the tomato mixture. Fold the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a packet, ensuring a tight seal.

Reduce grill heat and carefully place foil packets on the grate. Close the cover and cook until the salmon is just pink in the center and flakes easily, 7-8 minutes. Remove packets from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before opening.
