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
- 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: Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish skin side down and season them evenly with salt and pepper to taste.
- 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.
- 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.
- Top Salmon: Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the Boursin-coated salmon fillets to create a crispy topping.
- 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.
