Ingredients

• 3 tbsp Olive oil (Use 1 tbsp to rub on the salmon; heat the remaining 2 tbsp in the skillet.)

• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 Boursin garlic and herb cheese (One round.)
• 1 Lemon juice (Juice of 1 lemon.)

Steps

1. 1

   Rub the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

2. 2
