Ingredients

Scale

Salmon:

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

Boursin Mixture:

  • 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)

Optional for Roasting:

  • Cherry tomatoes or asparagus

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking dish or line with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. 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.
  3. Top with Boursin: Break Boursin cheese into chunks and distribute evenly over each fillet.
  4. 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!).
  5. 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.
  • Want to go dairy-free? Use a vegan herb cheese alternative.
  • Add cherry tomatoes, sliced zucchini, or asparagus to the pan for a built-in veggie side.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers store well for up to 3 days.
