🧄 Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

• 1 (5.2 oz) package of Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• Zest and juice of ½ a lemon

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

• Optional: Cherry tomatoes or asparagus for baking alongside 

🔪 Directions

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil your baking dish or line it with parchment for easier cleanup.

2. Season the Salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry. Place them skin-side down in the dish. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle over the lemon zest and minced garlic.

3. Add the Boursin: Slice or break up the Boursin cheese and place dollops on top of each fillet. It doesn’t have to be perfect—it’ll melt beautifully as it bakes.

4. Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes, depending on thickness, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Optional: switch to broil for the last 1–2 minutes for a golden cheesy top!

5. Finish and Serve: Drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately while warm and creamy.
