Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Cheese

  • 4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets
  • 8 oz garlic & herb Boursin cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Bread Crust Mixture

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish skin side down and season them evenly with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add Boursin Cheese: Generously spread the creamy garlic and herb Boursin cheese over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring full coverage for flavor and moisture.
  4. Make Breadcrumb Mixture: In a bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped fresh thyme until the breadcrumbs are well-coated and fragrant.
  5. Top Salmon: Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the Boursin-coated salmon fillets to create a crispy topping.
  6. Bake Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumb topping is golden and crisp.

Notes

  • Substitute Boursin cheese with goat cheese or cream cheese if desired for a different flavor profile.
  • For enhanced flavor, add chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes mixed into the cheese before spreading.
  • Serve alongside roasted vegetables or a light salad for a well-rounded, nutritious meal.
  • Ensure salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F for safety and optimal texture.
