Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish by drizzling it with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them skin-side down in the baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and lemon zest.
Crown the salmon with chunks of Boursin cheese, distributing it evenly on top of each fillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 18 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
