Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 fresh salmon fillets, skin-on
  • 4 oz Boursin cheese (herbed cream cheese)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or chives), chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to create a perfectly hot environment for baking the salmon evenly.
  2. Prepare the Salmon Fillets: Pat the salmon dry with paper towels to help the cheese adhere better and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Make the Boursin Topping: In a small bowl, mix the Boursin cheese with minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and chopped herbs until combined and smooth.
  4. Apply the Cheese Mixture: Spread the creamy Boursin mixture generously over the top of each salmon fillet, covering evenly for full flavor.
  5. Bake Until Perfection: Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the cheese is lightly golden on top.

Notes

  • Choose fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Allow Boursin cheese to come to room temperature for easier spreading and melting.
  • Do not overbake the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
  • Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving to brighten the flavors.
