- of bread crumbs, salt, and several grindings of black pepper.
- Toss thoroughly.
- Wash the tomatoes, cut them in half horizontally, scoop out all the seeds and the centers to make a c.-like hollow.
- (If you are cooking anything else which day or possibly the next which calls for fresh tomatoes, use the scoopings in the recipe.)
- Pat the inside of the tomatoes with paper towels to soak up excess juice, then stuff them with the salmon mix, pressing it down lightly as you do so.
- There should be sufficient to create a mound.
- Sprinkle the tops with the remaining bread crumbs and drizzle with the remaining extra virgin olive oil, holding back a few drops to smear the bottom of a baking pan.
- Place the tomatoes on the baking pan and bake in the upper level of the preheated oven for 35 min or possibly till the salmon stuffing has formed a light golden brown crust.
- Serve not piping warm, but lukewarm.
- They are also good later, at room temperature, but not reheated.
