Boursin Salmon
Report
This 30-minute Boursin salmon recipe has a creamy lemon herb sauce, and it's perfectly flaky and tender and simple to make. It's maybe the best way to use the popular cheese!

Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh salmon cut into 4 pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 3/4 cup chicken broth (use low sodium if sensitive to salt)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 (5.2 oz/150g) package Boursin Fine Herbs & Garlic cheese softened
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Take the salmon out of the fridge 15-30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Cut it into 4 pieces. Pat each piece dry and season with the garlic powder and some salt & pepper.
- Add the butter and olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the salmon. Cook for 3-4 minutes/side or until lightly browned. Do not overcook the fish; it shouldn't be cooked fully yet. Transfer the salmon to a plate.
- To the skillet, add the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes or until softened and lightly golden.
- Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and the Boursin to the skillet. Stir until you've got a smooth sauce. Let it bubble for about 4-5 minutes, then stir in the chopped parsley.
- And the salmon back into the skillet. Cook for another 3-5 minutes or so (I recommend turning the heat down) or until it's cooked through and it flakes easily with a fork and the sauce has thickened up some more.
- Season with salt & pepper if needed and serve immediately.
Notes
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash more chicken broth.
- This recipe is designed for a piece of salmon that's approx. 1" thick. Do the searing step a bit longer for a thicker piece of salmon or a little less for a thinner piece.
- If your salmon has skin on it and you don't want to eat it, simply peel it off after the searing step.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash more chicken broth.
