# What You’ll Need:

01 - 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skinless or skin-on, pin bones removed

02 - 1 package (5.2 oz) Boursin garlic & fine herbs cheese

03 - 2 tbsp heavy cream

09 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

10 - 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease baking dish.

02 - Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Arrange skin-side down on prepared baking sheet.

03 - Drizzle olive oil over salmon. Season each fillet with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.

04 - Combine Boursin cheese and heavy cream in small bowl. Mix until smooth and spreadable.

05 - Spread Boursin mixture evenly over top of each salmon fillet.

06 - Arrange lemon slices over and around the salmon.

07 - Bake for 15-20 minutes until salmon flakes easily with fork and cheese topping is bubbling and lightly golden.

08 - Remove from oven. Sprinkle with chopped chives and dill before serving.

01 -

The creamy Boursin topping keeps the salmon incredibly moist while baking
This looks and tastes like something from a fancy restaurant but comes together in under thirty minutes
The cheese creates a golden, bubbly crust that makes every bite feel luxurious

02 -

Overbaking dries out salmon quickly, so check for doneness at the fifteen minute mark and pull the fish when it just flakes.
The cheese will be very hot coming out of the oven, so let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving.

03 -

Let the Boursin soften at room temperature for ten minutes before mixing for easier spreading
If the cheese mixture feels too thick, add another teaspoon of cream until it is spreadable
