Close cover. Combine cherry tomatoes, olive oil, shallot, tapenade, salt, basil, thyme, and pepper in a bowl; mix well. Lay out foil on a work surface, shiny side-up. Place each salmon fillet skin side-down in the center of a piece of foil. Cover each piece of salmon with 1/4 of the tomato mixture. Fold up the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a packet, making sure to seal the edges well. Turn down the heat of the grill and carefully place the foil packets on the grate. Close the cover and cook until salmon is pale pink in the center and flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove parcels and let them sit for a few minutes before opening. Cook’s Note You can prepare the salmon foil packets a few hours before cooking them; just keep them in the fridge until you are ready to cook them on the grill.You can also bake the parcels in the oven if the weather isn't cooperating. Bake them at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
