Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly oiling it with olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them skin-side down in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and season with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and lemon zest.
Break the Boursin cheese into small chunks and distribute evenly over each salmon fillet.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes until opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Optionally, switch to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes for a golden top.
Remove the salmon from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
