Creamy Boursin Lemon Baked Salmon
If you love easy salmon dinners, this Creamy Boursin Lemon Baked Salmon is about to be your new obsession. Salmon can get a little boring when you make it week after week, so I’m always trying to come up with new, fresh flavors for you guys — and you already proved you LOVE a good salmon moment. My super viral Dilly Salmon, my Oven Baked Salmon, and my Florida Orange Salmon are still some of the most-clicked recipes on my entire website. So of course I had to give you a brand-new flavor combo that’s just as delicious… maybe even better.
This one is bright, creamy, garlicky, and honestly feels like something you’d order at a restaurant — but it’s just a handful of ingredients and completely foolproof. The Boursin melts into the lemon juice and roasted tomatoes and makes the most incredible sauce that spoons right over the salmon. You’re going to want to make this one on repeat.

The salmon should flake easily with a fork and reach an internal temperature of 145°F. If you prefer it more tender and medium, pull it around 135–140°F — it will finish cooking slightly as it rests.

- In the same bowl that held the Boursin mixture, whisk together 4–5 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Pour this mixture evenly over the tomatoes.
