Description
Baked Boursin Salmon is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish combining tender salmon fillets with creamy, herb-infused Boursin cheese, perfect for quick dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 2 to 4 salmon fillets (skin on or off, based on preference)
- 4 oz Boursin cheese (garlic and herb variety)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or dill (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Drizzle the salmon with olive oil or melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
- Squeeze a little lemon juice over each fillet for brightness.
- Spread a generous layer of Boursin cheese on top of each salmon fillet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cheese should be slightly golden and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or dill before serving if desired.
Notes
- For a tangy twist, mix a squeeze of Dijon mustard into the Boursin cheese before spreading.
- Add sliced cherry tomatoes or spinach on top of the salmon before baking for extra freshness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Boursin with a dairy-free herb spread.
- Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes to avoid drying out the salmon.
