Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets Skinless Salmon Fresh fillets are best for a tender result.
  • 2 tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice Offers brightness; bottled juice works in a pinch.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Adds moisture and flavor; avocado oil is a great substitute.
  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic Gives depth; adjust to your preferred garlic level.
  • 1 tablespoon Old Style Dijon Mustard Provides tanginess; regular Dijon can be used if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for seasoning; tweak to your liking.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper Essential for seasoning; tweak to your liking.
For the Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Creates a rich base for the creamy sauce; margarine can be dairy-free.
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock Enhances flavor; swap for vegetable stock for a vegetarian option.
  • 8 ounces Boursin Garlic & Herbs Cheese This is the star of the sauce; use garlic herb cream cheese if Boursin is unavailable.
  • 1 tablespoon Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice Brightens the sauce for an extra flavor kick.
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Chopped Parsley Optional, but adds a pop of color and freshness to your dish.

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Pat your skinless salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the salmon fillets and marinate briefly.
  3. Place the salmon fillets into the greased baking dish and bake for 10-12 minutes until they flake easily with a fork and reach 145°F (63°C).
  4. While the salmon is baking, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add chicken stock, stir, and whisk in the Boursin cheese until smooth.
  5. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add a splash of lemon juice and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Transfer cooked salmon to plates, drizzle with the creamy sauce, and garnish with parsley before serving.
