Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1 package (5.2 ounces) Boursin cheese (garlic & herb flavor)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill (or fresh dill)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, combine the Boursin cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and dried dill. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the Boursin mixture generously over each salmon fillet.
- Sprinkle additional garlic powder and dill on top for flavor and presentation.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- For a golden-brown top, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Carefully transfer the salmon fillets to serving plates, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- Ensure your salmon is at room temperature before baking for even cooking.
- Skin-on salmon can be left on while baking for moisture; it can be removed after cooking if desired.
- Feel free to experiment with different flavors of Boursin cheese or add additional herbs and spices to suit your taste.
