Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets 6-ounce, skin-on, pin bones removed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 package (5.2 oz) garlic and fine herbs Boursin cheese softened
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges

Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F and arrange the salmon skin-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Brush the salmon with olive oil and season with the kosher salt and black pepper.
  3. Spread the softened garlic and fine herbs Boursin cheese evenly over the tops of the fillets and bake for 12 to 18 minutes, until the thickest part of each fillet reaches 145°F.
  4. Rest the salmon for 3 minutes, then serve with the lemon wedges.

Notes

For even cooking, use fillets of similar thickness. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free option, use a dairy-free garlic-and-herb spread.
