Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat salmon fillets dry, season with salt and pepper. Mince garlic and slice lemon.
- Sear the Salmon: Heat olive oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until golden. Flip and cook 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add the Boursin Cheese and Aromatics: Spread Boursin cheese over salmon, sprinkle minced garlic, and add lemon slices. Optionally, add vegetables around the salmon.

- Add vegetables like asparagus, cherry tomatoes, or zucchini for extra nutrition and color.
- Other creamy cheeses can be substituted for Boursin, such as cream cheese with herbs or garlic.
