Very good! I toasted the almonds and set them aside, then sauteed the onions for about 3-4 minutes before adding the garlic, tomatoes, lemon, honey and seasonings, then removed the mixture from the heat. Then instead of broiling the salmon, I roasted it on top of the onion/tomato mixture at 425F for 15 minutes, then topped it with the toasted almonds.
