Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 package (5.2 oz) 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
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Cherry tomatoes or asparagus (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them skin-side down in the baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and lemon zest.
  3. Break the Boursin cheese into small chunks and distribute evenly over each fillet.
  4. Bake for 15–18 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Broil for an additional 1–2 minutes for a golden top if desired.
  5. Remove from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice on top, garnish with parsley if using, and serve hot.
