Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Cheese
- 4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets
- 8 oz garlic & herb Boursin cheese
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 the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin side down in the baking dish. Season each fillet evenly with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
- Spread the Boursin cheese: Generously spread the garlic and herb Boursin cheese over the top surface of each salmon fillet, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Prepare the breadcrumb topping: In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs with olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, and thyme. Mix thoroughly until the breadcrumbs are well-coated in olive oil and herbs.
- Top the salmon: Evenly sprinkle the herb-coated breadcrumb mixture over the Boursin cheese layer on each salmon fillet, creating a crunchy crust.
- Bake the salmon: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, ensuring it is cooked through but still moist.
Notes
- Substitute Boursin cheese with goat cheese or cream cheese for a different but delicious flavor.
- For added flavor and nutrients, mix in chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes with the cheese before spreading on the salmon.
- Serve alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh light salad to create a balanced and complete meal.
