This was average. I was so expecting this to be super tasty, but salmon and tomatoes didn't absorb much of the garlic oil flavor -- maybe marinate them in it next time?
I’ve never worked with puff pastry, so this was a learning experience for me. I did place the tomato slices on paper towels to help dry them out somewhat.
Delicious but not very filling. Needs to be lower in fat and calories because we ate more than one serving.
I wouldn't call this a total Cooksmarts fail, but probably as close as I've come. The flavors were great, but even after being careful to drain all the juice off the tomatoes and baking quite a bit longer than the recipe called for, this ended up really soggy in the middle. The cucumber side was just ok, but neither the side nor the tart was very filling, so this ended up being pretty unsatisfying overall.
