- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons old style Dijon mustard

Boursin Cheese Sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup chicken stock
- 1 5 oz. pack Boursin Garlic & Herbs Cheese at room temperature
- 1-2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Place the fillets in the baking dish and rub with this mixture. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
Boursin Sauce Preparation
- As the salmon bakes, melt butter in a small pot over medium heat.
- Pour the chicken stock into the mixture and blend in the Boursin until it’s thoroughly incorporated with the stock. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Take off the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
- Drizzle the sauce over the cooked salmon in the dish to combine with the natural pan juices released during baking.
- Garnish with parsley.
- Serve with lemon slices and enjoy!
Notes
You can keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. Just put it in a sealed container. Reheat slowly on low heat to preserve sauce and fish texture. This dish doesn’t freeze well because of the dairy in the sauce.
