Ingredients

Scale

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Zest and juice of ½ lemon
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Cherry tomatoes or asparagus (optional, for roasting alongside)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Pat salmon fillets dry and place them skin-side down in the prepared dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and lemon zest.
Break the Boursin cheese into chunks and distribute evenly over each salmon fillet.
Bake for 15–18 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Broil for an additional minute if desired for a golden top.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon before serving and garnish with parsley if using.
