Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
Place salmon fillets on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix Boursin cheese, yogurt or sour cream (if using), lemon zest, and herbs until smooth.
Spread cheese mixture evenly over each salmon fillet.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with lemon wedges or extra herbs if desired.

Notes

Use thawed salmon and pat dry before baking for best texture.

Swap Boursin with herbed cream cheese or whipped feta if needed.

Serve with rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Don’t overbake—check at 12 minutes for doneness.

Add panko or Parmesan before baking for a crunchy top.
