A delicious Baked Boursin Salmon dish featuring creamy Boursin cheese and a crispy panko topping, perfect for any dinner occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin-on or off
- 5.2 ounces Garlic & Fine Herbs Boursin cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 medium lemon, sliced into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels to ensure proper adhesion of the topping.
- Arrange the fillets on the baking sheet and season the tops with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Spread approximately 1.3 ounces of Boursin cheese evenly across the top surface of each salmon fillet.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and olive oil, stirring until the crumbs are uniformly coated.
- Press the panko mixture firmly into the cheese layer on each fillet to form a crust.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the center rack of the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Notes
For a variation, add vegetables like spinach or sun-dried tomatoes beneath the cheese layer for added flavor.
