Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F, conventional).
  • Cut the salmon into smaller pieces
  • Place the salmon in a baking dish and season with lemon pepper, black pepper, and salt. Toss to coat the salmon evenly with the spices.
  • Cut the Boursin cheese into pieces and spread it evenly over the salmon
  • In a skillet, sauté the spinach over medium heat until wilted (about 3-5 minutes). You can use a bit of oil or butter to help with this.
  • Once the spinach is wilted, spread it evenly over the salmon in the baking dish.
  • Pour the heavy cream over the salmon, spinach, and cheese in the baking dish.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half and add them to the dish for sweetness and flavor.
  • Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the gratin has a nice golden brown top.
  • While the gratin is baking, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Once the pasta is done, drain it and set aside.
  • If you prefer, you can save some of the pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency in the gratin later.
  • Once the gratin is done, remove it from the oven and stir so the cheese and cream mix with the salmon, spinach, and tomatoes.
  • Serve the gratin directly on the plates alongside the cooked pasta. If the sauce is too thick, you can loosen it with a little bit of the pasta water.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really comforting and full of flavor! Tried this salmon gratin tonight and it turned out amazing! The creamy Boursin with herbs gave it a rich, smooth taste, and the spinach and cherry tomatoes added a nice balance. Super comforting and surprisingly easy to make — I’ll definitely make it again!
