Equipment

  • 1 Kitchen knife
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 large baking dish
  • 1 meat thermometer

Ingredients

  • 1 block Boursin garlic and herbs
  • 1 zucchini cut into chunks
  • ½ onion diced
  • 1 pint tomatoes
  • 1 pint mushrooms sliced
  • 2 filets salmon skinless
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ jar sun dried tomatoes
  • 1 lemon juiced and zested
  • 1 tbsp herbes de Provence
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ pound orzo

Instructions

  • Place the main ingredients in the baking dish. We prepared ours in a visually appealing way because we served it on the table unstirred. Place the Boursin in the middle of the dish. Surround the cheese with salmon, zucchini, onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
    1 block Boursin, 1 zucchini, ½ onion, 1 pint tomatoes, 1 pint mushrooms, 2 filets salmon
  • Spread flavorful ingredients over top. Garlic, sun dried tomatoes, lemon zest, and herbes de Provence do the heavy lifting here. Feel free to add salt and pepper to taste.
    3 cloves garlic, ½ jar sun dried tomatoes, 1 lemon, 1 tbsp herbes de Provence, salt, 1 tsp pepper
  • Position the orzo so that it is between the ingredients and will be submerged in the broth and heavy cream. When you're ready to bake, pour in the broth and heavy cream!
    2 cups chicken or vegetable broth, ½ cup heavy cream, ½ pound orzo
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes. Halfway through, stir the orzo so that it has a chance to cook evenly. You may also test the temperature of the salmon and remove it if it has cooked completely.
