2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or oil.
2. Place salmon fillets on the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
3. In a bowl, mix Boursin cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley.
4. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over each fillet.
5. Bake for 13–15 minutes until the topping is golden and salmon flakes easily.
6. Serve hot with garnish of extra parsley or rosemary, if desired.
Notes
Use fresh salmon for best flavor, but thawed frozen fillets also work.
Try different Boursin flavors like Shallot & Chive for variation.
Avoid overbaking—salmon should flake, not dry out.
