Step aside shrimp, there’s a new scampi in town! In this recipe, salmon filets are slathered in a garlic-parmesan butter and nestled into a mix of white wine and lemon juice. While the salmon roasts, all those tasty, buttery, drippings mingle with the white wine and lemon juice, creating a super succulent sauce. We pair our salmon scampi with butter-broiled cherry tomatoes. This recipe is well suited to the low-carb crowd, but feel free to serve this dish with pasta or a side of crusty bread (there’s plenty of sauce to sop).
Salmon Scampi with Broiled Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter, softened, separated
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup dry white wine, like Pinot Grigio
- 1 lemon, halved
- 2 (6 oz) salmon filets
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
Directions
1) In a medium bowl, stir together 3 tbsp butter, 6 minced garlic cloves, ¼ cup parmesan, 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes,1 pinch of salt, and 1 pinch of black pepper until blended.
2) Pour ¼ cup of white wine into a Suvie pan. Squeeze lemon halves into the pan and nestle the 2 salmon filets into the liquid. Divide the butter mixture between the 2 salmon filets, spreading to coat. Arrange the lemon halves around the salmon fillets and insert the pan into the top zone of your Suvie.
3) Place 2 cups cherry tomatoes and remaining 1 tbsp butter into another Suvie pan. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper. Place pan in the bottom zone of your Suvie, input settings, and cook now.

Looks delicious! Any suggestions on how to make this recipe for 4 people instead of 2? Should I do the tomatoes separately in the oven and the salmon in the top and bottom zones? Or can I squish them together and adjust the cook times?
Hi Jill, I would try arranging 4 salmon filets in one pan and doubling up the tomatoes in the other Suvie pan. You should be able to get everything to fit in Suvie without having to use a convention oven. Hope that helps!
Excellent! Would the cook time need to be increased? (And if so, is there a good rule of thumb that can be applied in general when doubling a recipe?)
Hi Jill, I don’t think you’ll need to increase the cook time, but you may want to rotate the pan with the salmon halfway through cooking. As I am sure you’ve noticed, the broiler element runs a little hotter closer towards the door because of the way it bends in an arc. Pretty much any 2 person recipe can be doubled for 4 people. The only consideration is space. Anything with a lot of liquid (soups or stews) may need to be split between two pans and any proteins that are especially large may need to be divided as well.
Hi. I attempted this meal using frozen salmon and the option to defrost (the y/n question regarding frozen) did not appear. What went wrong?
