Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly drizzling it with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Place the fillets skin-side down in the baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the salmon, then season with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and lemon zest.
  3. Break the Boursin cheese into small chunks and scatter them over each salmon fillet.
  4. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 15-18 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flaky. Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for a golden crust.
  5. Remove the dish from the oven, drizzle fresh lemon juice over the salmon, and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
