This baked Boursin salmon recipe combines creamy, garlicky Boursin cheese with flaky salmon for a healthy and indulgent dinner that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on or skinless
  • 8 tablespoons Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each fillet and rub it in gently with a basting brush or the back of a spoon.
  4. Season the salmon generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Spread a thick layer of Boursin cheese (about 2 tablespoons per fillet) over the top of each piece of salmon.
  6. Drizzle a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice over each fillet.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The cheese should be golden and bubbly.
  8. Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, like roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.

Notes

[‘Make sure the salmon fillets are evenly sized to ensure they cook uniformly.’, ‘If your salmon is frozen, thaw it in the fridge overnight or run it under cool water in its packaging until thawed.’, ‘Don’t overcook the salmon—check for doneness at the 12-minute mark.’, ‘For a crispy topping, add a sprinkle of breadcrumbs over the Boursin cheese before baking.’, ‘Use a meat thermometer for precision; salmon is perfectly cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).’, ‘If the cheese isn’t quite golden and bubbly at the end of the cooking time, pop the salmon under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.’]
