Ingredients

Scale

Salmon:

  • 4 salmon fillets (5–6 ounces each), skin-on or skinless

Cheese Mixture:

  • 1 Boursin cheese round (5.2 oz) – garlic & fine herbs flavor preferred
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven – Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture – In a small bowl, mix together Boursin cheese, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and half of the olive oil or melted butter. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. Season the Salmon – Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the fillets and season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Top with Boursin Mixture – Spoon the Boursin cheese mixture evenly over each fillet. Spread it gently with the back of a spoon to cover the top of each piece.
  5. Bake the Salmon – Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. Garnish and Serve – Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
