20 Minute Boursin Tomato Basil Salmon

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets
• 5.2 oz Basil & Chive Boursin cheese (one standard package; basil flavored)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
• fresh basil (for garnish and flavor)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the salmon fillets until golden on both sides.

3. 3

   Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan around the salmon.

4. 4

   Place the block of basil-flavored Boursin cheese in the center of the pan.

5. 5

   Allow the tomatoes to cook down and become saucy as the Boursin melts, about 5-8 minutes.

6. 6

   Stir the melted cheese and burst tomatoes together to create a creamy sauce.

7. 7

   Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

The author notes that this version takes slightly longer than their original 15-minute salmon to allow the cherry tomatoes to break down into a sauce.
