Flaky salmon topped with creamy Boursin cheese and baked to perfection. Easy weeknight dinner that’s elegant and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (5–6 oz each)
  • 5 oz Boursin cheese (Garlic & Herb flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or dill for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels, especially on top where the Boursin will sit. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the room temperature Boursin cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth and spreadable.
  4. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Evenly spread the Boursin cheese mixture over the top of each salmon fillet.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through, opaque pink throughout, and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should read 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the salmon. It will continue to cook slightly after you remove it from the oven. The best way to check for doneness is with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part.
  • You can use any flavor of Boursin cheese you prefer, such as Shallot & Chive or Pepper.
  • For a golden, crispy top, broil for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking. Watch it closely to prevent burning.
  • Let Boursin cheese sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before mixing for smoother blending.
