Necessary ingredients:

- 4 salmon fillets (approximately 150-200 g each)
- 200 g Boursin cheese with figs and walnut
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic (optional)
- 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence (or your favorite herbs)
- 1 lemon (for serving and decoration)

Step 1: Preparing the salmon fillets

Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Choose fresh salmon fillets with skin and without bones for the best results. Check the fillets and, if necessary, remove any visible bones with a pair of tweezers.

Step 2: Stuffing the salmon

Make a cut in each salmon fillet, creating a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through, so the filling doesn't spill out. In a bowl, mix the Boursin cheese with figs and walnut. This combination will provide a sweet and crunchy note, perfectly complementing the flavors of the salmon. Use a spoon to fill each salmon fillet with the cheese mixture.

Step 3: Seasoning

After you have stuffed the fillets, season them with salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and herbs de Provence on both sides. The olive oil will help create a golden and delicious crust during baking.

Step 4: Baking

Place the stuffed salmon fillets in a heat-resistant dish, skin side down. Drizzle them with a little olive oil for extra flavor and to prevent sticking. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked evenly and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5: Serving

Once the salmon is ready, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve it with lemon wedges, which will add a fresh note when squeezed over the fish. You can accompany this dish with steamed vegetables, a green salad, or basmati rice for a complete and balanced meal.

Personal suggestion: If you want to add a splash of color and flavor, you can add a few slices of cherry tomatoes or black olives in the dish before baking. This will transform the plate into a true culinary masterpiece!
