Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Fillets

  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off

Boursin Topping

  • 4 ounces Boursin cheese, garlic and herb flavor (or other flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)

Garnish & Serving

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the salmon perfectly.
  2. Dry the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture for better coating adherence.
  3. Prepare Boursin Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened Boursin cheese and Dijon mustard until evenly mixed.
  4. Add Flavors: Stir in olive oil, lemon juice, dried dill, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and optional white wine until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Arrange Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish approximately 9×13 inches or similar size, spacing them evenly.
  6. Apply Topping: Spoon the prepared Boursin cheese mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, covering the tops thoroughly.
  7. Bake the Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, checking around 12 minutes to ensure it is cooked through. The salmon should flake easily with a fork and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Rest the Salmon: Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the salmon to rest for a couple of minutes to retain juices and flavors.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately alongside lemon wedges for an added citrus burst.

Notes

  • Thicker salmon fillets may require a longer cooking time to ensure they are fully cooked.
  • To prevent dry salmon, avoid overcooking by frequently checking for doneness starting at the 12-minute mark.
  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently to maintain texture and flavor.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs, spices, and Boursin cheese flavors. Adding red pepper flakes or paprika can provide a spicy twist.
  • Pair this dish with roasted vegetables, fresh salad, rice, quinoa, or asparagus for a complete meal.
