Ingredients

1 pound fresh salmon cut into 4 pieces
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
½ medium onion chopped
¾ cup chicken broth (use low sodium if sensitive to salt)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 package Boursin Fine Herbs & Garlic cheese softened (5.2 oz/150g)
1-2 tablespoons parsley chopped

Instructions

Take the salmon out of the fridge 15-30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Cut it into 4 pieces. Pat each piece dry and season with the garlic powder and some salt & pepper.
Add the butter and olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the salmon. Cook for 3-4 minutes/side or until lightly browned. Transfer the salmon to a plate.
To the skillet, add the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes or until softened and lightly golden.
Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and the Boursin to the skillet. Stir until you've got a smooth sauce. Let it bubble for about 4-5 minutes, then stir in the chopped parsley.
And the salmon back into the skillet. Cook for another 3-5 minutes or so or until it's cooked through. Season with salt & pepper if needed and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe is designed for a piece of salmon that's approx. 1" thick. Adjust cooking time for thickness. Remove skin after searing if desired. Add more broth if sauce thickens too much.
