Ingredients
Salmon and Seasoning
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Topping and Garnish
- 8 ounces Boursin cheese (garlic and herb)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
- Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the salmon evenly.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent the salmon from sticking during baking.
- Season Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice evenly over the fillets, then season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Spread Boursin: Evenly spread the garlic and herb Boursin cheese over the top of each salmon fillet, coating them thoroughly for rich flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the cheese topping is bubbly and lightly golden.
- Garnish: Remove the baked salmon from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired to add a fresh, vibrant touch.
- Serve: Transfer the salmon fillets to plates and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze on top for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Enjoy your delicious meal!
