Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Cheese
- 4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets
- 8 oz garlic & herb Boursin cheese
Bread Crumb Topping
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Season Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish skin side down. Season each fillet evenly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Spread Boursin Cheese: Generously spread the garlic and herb Boursin cheese over the top of each salmon fillet ensuring full coverage for a rich, creamy layer.
- Make Breadcrumb Mixture: In a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil, chopped parsley, and chopped thyme. Mix well until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with oil and herbs.
- Add Breadcrumb Topping: Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the Boursin-covered salmon fillets, creating a crispy and aromatic crust when baked.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Notes
- Substitute Boursin cheese with goat cheese or cream cheese if preferred.
- For added flavor, mix in chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes into the Boursin cheese before spreading.
- Serve alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete, balanced meal.
