Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the salmon fillet on a lined baking sheet and brush with olive oil.
Season the salmon with salt and black pepper to taste.
Spread the Boursin cheese evenly over the top of the salmon.
Sprinkle lemon zest and chopped fresh dill over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the cheese topping is lightly golden.
Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before plating.

FAQ

Can I prepare this salmon ahead of time?

You can assemble the salmon with the Boursin topping in advance and refrigerate it for a few hours before baking. Just bake fresh for best texture.

How should I store leftovers?

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to preserve the creamy topping and tender fish.
