What Kind of Salmon Should I Use?

How To Make the Boursin Baked Salmon

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and arrange salmon fillets skin-side down.

Step 2: Make the Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt the Boursin cheese with heavy cream, garlic, and lemon juice over low heat. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Pour and Bake

Pour the Boursin sauce evenly over the salmon fillets. Bake uncovered for 15-18 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Step 4: Broil for a Golden Top

Optional but worth it—broil the dish for 2-3 minutes for a bubbly, golden finish.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
