Ingredients
Scale
For the Salmon
- 4 fillets Salmon (6 oz each), rich in omega-3 fatty acids
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil, for moisture and seasoning adherence
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1/2 lemon, zest and juice for brightness
- Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
For the Topping
- 1 package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese (5.2 oz), or your favorite flavor for a twist
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Optional Additions
- Vegetables such as cherry tomatoes or asparagus, for roasting
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly coating it with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry using a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place the fillets skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Season the Salmon: Drizzle olive oil evenly over each fillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste, add minced garlic, and sprinkle lemon zest on top to enhance the flavor.
- Add the Boursin Cheese Topping: Spread the Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese evenly over each salmon fillet to create a creamy, flavorful topping.
- Bake the Salmon: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven, drizzle fresh lemon juice over the baked salmon, and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh garnish before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use the freshest salmon and high-quality Boursin cheese available.
- Experiment with different Boursin flavors such as shallot & chive or pepper for a unique twist.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add your favorite vegetables like cherry tomatoes or asparagus to the baking dish for a complete meal.
