Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Boursin Salmon
  1. Cut the salmon fillet into four equal portions; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until golden but undercooked in the center, then transfer to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Scrape any browned bits for added flavor.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, stir, and bring to a simmer. Add Boursin cheese and stir until smooth, cooking for 4-5 minutes.
  5. Return the salmon to the skillet and simmer for another 3-5 minutes until fully cooked, spooning sauce over salmon occasionally.
  6. Remove from heat, plate the salmon, drizzle sauce over, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
