Description

This creamy baked Boursin salmon recipe combines tender, flaky salmon with rich, herby Boursin cheese for an indulgent yet easy dinner idea.

Ingredients

Scale

4 skinless salmon fillets
5 ounces Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Optional: fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or chives)
Optional: vegetables (cherry tomatoes, asparagus, or zucchini)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure they bake evenly. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Boursin cheese, heavy cream, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth and creamy. If the mixture feels too thick, add a splash of milk or cream to thin it out slightly.
Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, leaving a small gap between each one. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top of each fillet.
Spoon the Boursin cheese mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they’re fully covered. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top.
If you’re adding vegetables, arrange them around the salmon in the baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Once done, remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra pop of color and flavor.
