Ingredients
Scale
Salmon & Cheese
- 4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets
- 8 oz garlic & herb Boursin cheese
Breadcrumb 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: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Salmon: Arrange the salmon fillets in the baking dish skin side down. Season each fillet with salt and pepper evenly to enhance the flavor.
- Add Boursin Cheese: Spread a generous layer of garlic and herb Boursin cheese over the top of each salmon fillet, covering them fully for a creamy and flavorful base.
- Make Breadcrumb Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil, chopped parsley, and chopped thyme. Stir well until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with oil and herbs to create a crispy topping.
- Top Salmon: Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese-covered salmon fillets, ensuring a good crust will form while baking.
- Bake: Place the baking 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 and crisp.
Notes
- Substitute Boursin cheese with goat cheese or cream cheese if desired for a different flavor profile.
- For enhanced flavor, you can mix in chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes with the Boursin cheese before spreading it on the salmon.
- Serve this baked salmon alongside roasted vegetables or a light fresh salad for a balanced and complete meal.
