Ingredients
Salmon
- 1 pound fresh salmon cut into 4 pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
Sauce
- 3/4 cup chicken broth (low sodium recommended if sensitive to salt)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 (5.2 oz / 150g) package Boursin Fine Herbs & Garlic cheese, softened
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon: Remove salmon from the refrigerator 15-30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Cut into 4 even pieces, pat dry with paper towels, and season each piece evenly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the salmon: Heat the butter and olive oil together in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the salmon pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned but not fully cooked. Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Sauté the onions: In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and lightly golden, scraping up any browned bits from the salmon.
- Make the sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and fresh lemon juice, then add the softened Boursin cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese fully melts into a smooth, creamy sauce. Let the sauce bubble gently for 4-5 minutes to thicken slightly. Stir in chopped parsley at the end.
- Finish cooking the salmon: Return the salmon pieces back to the skillet, gently spooning sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through, flakes easily with a fork, and the sauce has thickened further.
- Season and serve: Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Serve the salmon immediately with the creamy Boursin sauce spooned over the top.
Notes
- Bringing the salmon to room temperature before cooking helps it cook evenly.
- Do not overcook the salmon initially; it will finish cooking in the sauce to ensure it remains moist and tender.
- Low sodium chicken broth can be used to reduce salt content.
- Fresh parsley adds a nice bright flavor but can be substituted with dried herbs if necessary.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
