Boursin & Parmesan Encrusted Salmon

Boursin & Parmesan Encrusted salmonOK, let me be honest: I put that fancy name in the title, but this dish really should be called, “Easy, Cheesy Salmon.”  For reals.  4 ingredients:  Salmon, Boursin cheese, Parmesan and kosher salt.  Boom.

Ever since I started following a low carb/high fat style of eating, cheese has become my BFF. We’re tight. Like, it’s a rubitallovermyface kinda love fest. Salmon gives you a healthy dose of your Omega-3’s and the creamy, delicious consistency of Boursin cheese makes it melt-in-your-mouth. If you’ve never had Boursin, it comes in a cute little box and is usually where the Parmesan and blue cheese live at the grocery store. It’s basically a whipped cream cheese with herbs that is oh-so-good. Let it melt onto a steak hot off the grill— OMG.  It’s also awesome added to eggs/omelets.

Once I slather some Boursin on the salmon, I add a sprinkling of parm on top to get that “encrusted” feel.  Hungry yet?
