Ingredients
- 4 large Beefsteak tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 ounces Smoked salmon
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the broiler in your oven to high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Slice the beefsteak tomatoes in half horizontally and scoop out a small portion of the seeds and pulp to create a shallow cavity in each half.
Step 3
Drizzle the cut sides of the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle each half with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the seasoned tomato halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes, or until they are slightly caramelized and bubbling on top.
Step 5
While the tomatoes broil, soften the cream cheese in a small bowl by letting it sit at room temperature or microwaving it for 10 seconds. Mix the cream cheese with the lemon juice, chopped dill, and capers until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
After removing the tomatoes from the broiler, allow them to cool slightly (around 2-3 minutes). Then spread a dollop of the cream cheese mixture into the cavity of each tomato half.
Step 7
Carefully fold the smoked salmon slices to fit atop each tomato, arranging them neatly.
Step 8
Garnish the tomatoes with extra fresh dill or capers if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
