Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (5–6 ounces each)

Boursin Cheese Mixture

  • 1 round of Boursin cheese (5.2 oz), garlic & fine herbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter, divided

Seasoning

  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the salmon.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Make Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine Boursin cheese, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and half of the olive oil until smooth and creamy.
  4. Season Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, then drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Season both sides with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble: Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the prepared baking dish, if the skin is intact. Spread the Boursin cheese mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and is cooked through.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Check salmon doneness with a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  • If you prefer, melted butter can be used instead of olive oil for a richer flavor.
  • The skin can be removed before baking if not desired.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
