4 fillets Salmon (Opt for skin-on for added flavor and moisture.)
2 tablespoons Olive Oil or Melted Butter (Use butter for a more indulgent taste.)
to taste Salt
to taste Black Pepper
8 ounces Boursin Cheese (Can substitute with cream cheese or goat cheese.)
2 cloves Minced Garlic (Adjust quantity as desired.)
1 tablespoon Lemon Zest (Fresh is preferred.)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (Fresh is preferred.)
2 tablespoons Chopped Parsley (Can use dill or basil.)

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the salmon dry and rub with olive oil or melted butter, then season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix Boursin, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice until glossy.
Spoon the Boursin mixture over each fillet, gently spreading it over the salmon.

Bake salmon for 10-14 minutes depending on thickness; start checking around 10 minutes.
Finish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired.

Sometimes broil for 1 minute at the end for texture contrast. Leftovers keep well in the fridge and can be eaten cold on a bagel.
