Boursin Salmon

1 pound fresh salmon cut into 4 pieces

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt & pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 medium onion chopped

3/4 cup chicken broth (use low sodium if sensitive to salt)

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 (5.2 oz/150g) package Boursin Fine Herbs & Garlic cheese softened

1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Take the salmon out of the fridge 15-30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Cut it into 4 pieces (~1" thick)

Pat each piece dry and season with the garlic powder and some salt & pepper.

Add the butter and olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes/side or until lightly browned. Do not overcook the fish; it shouldn't be cooked fully yet. 

Transfer the salmon to a plate.

To the skillet, add the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes or until softened and lightly golden.

Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and the Boursin to the skillet. Stir until you've got a smooth sauce. Let it bubble for about 4-5 minutes, then stir in the chopped parsley.

Add the salmon back into the skillet. Cook for another 3-5 minutes or so (I recommend turning the heat down) or until it's cooked through and it flakes easily with a fork and the sauce has thickened up some more.

Season with salt & pepper if needed and serve immediately over rice or noodles
