Ingredients
-
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
-
1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 garlic clove, minced
-
Zest and juice of ½ lemon
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
-
Cherry tomatoes or asparagus (optional, for roasting alongside)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking dish or line with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
Season salmon: Pat fillets dry and place skin-side down in the baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon zest.
-
Top with Boursin: Break Boursin cheese into chunks and distribute evenly over each fillet.
-
Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily. For a golden top, broil for the last 1–2 minutes (watch closely!).
-
Garnish and serve: Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
-
Works beautifully with other Boursin flavors like Shallot & Chive or Cracked Black Pepper.
