Indulge in an effortlessly elegant meal with this Creamy Baked Boursin Salmon with Asparagus recipe. Flaky, tender salmon fillets are crowned with a luscious, herbed garlic Boursin cheese topping and baked alongside vibrant asparagus spears, creating a complete, gourmet-feeling dinner that comes together in under 30 minutes. It’s rich, satisfying, and unbelievably simple!

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1 (5.2 ounce) package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese, softened
  • 1 pound asparagus, tough ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Evenly spread the softened Boursin cheese over the top of each salmon fillet. You can use the back of a spoon or your fingers to gently press it into a smooth layer.
  4. Place the trimmed asparagus spears around the salmon fillets on the same baking sheet. Drizzle the asparagus with any remaining olive oil from the measuring spoon and season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the Boursin cheese is lightly golden and bubbly. The asparagus should be tender-crisp.
  6. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and asparagus. Garnish generously with fresh chopped dill before serving immediately.

Notes

For an extra touch, broil for the last 1-2 minutes to get a beautiful golden crust on the Boursin. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of fluffy rice, quinoa, or a simple green salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently to maintain salmon moisture.
