Garlicky Broiled Salmon and Tomatoes

I made this weeks ago and it was mmm....mmm....good! The only thing I would change is broiling the tomatoes. I didn't like them broiled - 8 to 10 minutes was way too long and they were too mushy. I would either broil them only for a minute or two, or just serve them fresh sprinkled with olive oil and the thyme and garlic. Or maybe the broiling works better with store bought tomatoes since they're a little firmer. I dunno.

Garlicky Broiled Salmon and Tomatoes

4 6-ounce pieces salmon fillet
4 medium tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 teaspoon paprika, preferably hot
2 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt and pepper
8 sprigs fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic, sliced

Directions
Heat broiler.
Place the salmon and tomatoes, cut-side up, in a broilerproof roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the salmon with the paprika.
Drizzle the salmon and tomatoes with the oil and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Scatter the thyme and garlic over the top.
Broil until the salmon is opaque throughout and the tomatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
