This Baked Boursin Salmon recipe features tender, flaky salmon fillets topped with creamy Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese, baked to perfection with a hint of lemon and garlic. A simple and elegant dish perfect for dinner, optionally served alongside roasted cherry tomatoes or asparagus.

Ingredients

Salmon and Cheese

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese

Seasonings and Garnish

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Zest of ½ lemon
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Optional Vegetables

  • Cherry tomatoes or asparagus (optional, for roasting alongside)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Season the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle each fillet with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and lemon zest.
  3. Add the Boursin cheese: Break the Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese into chunks and evenly distribute them on top of each salmon fillet.
  4. Bake the salmon: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 18 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For a golden, slightly crisp top, broil the salmon for 2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove the salmon from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Optionally, serve alongside roasted cherry tomatoes or asparagus.

Notes

  • Patting the salmon dry helps the cheese and seasonings adhere better and promotes even cooking.
  • Boursin cheese can be substituted with cream cheese mixed with garlic and herbs if unavailable.
  • Keep a close eye during broiling to avoid burning the cheese topping.
  • Adding cherry tomatoes or asparagus to the baking dish provides a simple, complementary side cooked simultaneously.
  • To ensure even cooking, choose fillets of similar thickness.
