Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them skin-side down in the greased baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Zest the lemon over the fillets.
  3. Break the Boursin cheese into chunks and distribute it evenly across the salmon fillets.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily. Broil for 1-2 minutes for a crispy finish.
  5. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
