Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

- Add Boursin: Spread a generous layer of Boursin cheese over each fillet.
- Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with lemon zest and fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
- Cheese Tip: Let Boursin soften at room temperature for easier spreading.
- Protein Swap: Chicken breasts or cod fillets can be used instead of salmon.
