When it comes to creating delicious and sophisticated flavor combinations, Boursin cheese and salmon are a match made in culinary heaven. The creamy and tangy taste of Boursin perfectly complements the rich flavor of the salmon.
Boursin Garlic & Herbs was launched in 1963 and quickly became a household name across France. Its unique texture and taste revolutionized the fresh cheese market, especially after being the first cheese brand to be the subject of a television campaign in 1968.
For those unfamiliar with it, Boursin cheese is known for its smooth, creamy texture and fresh herbs. That’s what makes it so versatile and perfect for sauces! With a variety of flavors to choose from, Boursin recipes open a world of possibilities.

Instructions
Salmon
Preheat oven to 425 F. Lightly grease a baking dish.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, & Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Place the fillets in the baking dish & rub with this mixture. Season with a generous pinch of salt & pepper.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
Boursin Sauce
As the salmon bakes, melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Pour the chicken stock into the mixture & blend in the Boursin until it's thoroughly incorporated with the stock. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Take off the heat & stir in the lemon juice & any natural pan juices from the salmon.
Serving
Place cooked salmon on a serving plate & pour sauce over top.
Garnish with parsley & lemon slices if desired.
The foods that stay always stocked, the staples of anyone’s pantry, hold the secret to understanding what makes each individual household special in its own way.
One of the most telling is where someone keeps their Ritz crackers: stocked as the go-to snack for the family, among the chocolate chips as a home baker’s secret to pie, or with the tinned fish, destined to be the base of canapés for a party. Keeping a box of Ritz crackers on the shelves means always having a welcoming taste on hand— easy access to a versatile staple that goes with anything and requires no effort to prepare.
Ritz Crackers are a universal favorite. They’ve been a comforting fixture in grocery stores for over 80 years. Simply put, these scalloped golden discs have an ideal level of saltiness. They’re tender, but not to the point of crumbling as soon as you take a bite. They’re toasty, buttery, and seasoned throughout (instead of just on the top) but not in a way that would overpower whatever toppings or dips you’d enjoy with them.
Cracker breading is the perfect complement for fish, seafood, chicken or a vegetable casserole, mashed potatoes and of course, macaroni and cheese.
The combination of flavors in this simple casserole make it such a classic — just scallops, lemon, butter, vermouth, and Ritz crackers. Taking a bite of baked scallops with Ritz crackers is like going back in time, an old-school pleasure. It’s purely delicious, and incredibly easy to make.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 F. Place rack on the second to top position.
Wash scallops & pat dry. Remove the side muscle if still attached.
Arrange scallops in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. In a small bowl, stir together the cracker crumbs, garlic salt & pepper. Sprinkle the scallops evenly with the cracker crumb mixture, then Parmesan. Pour the butter over all, then sprinkle evenly with the lemon juice & vermouth. Cover the dish with foil & bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil & bake an additional 10 minutes.
Turn the heat up to 'broil' & with the oven door ajar, brown the top for an additional 2 or 3 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with a slice of lemon & fresh chopped chives or parsley.
