Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Baked Boursin Salmon

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with oil or parchment paper.

Top each fillet with chunks of Boursin cheese, covering them generously.
Bake for 15–18 minutes until opaque and easily flaked with a fork; broil for 1–2 minutes for a golden top if desired.
