Ingredients
- 8 oz linguine pasta
- 4 salmon fillets (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 (5.3-oz) block Boursin Shallot & Chive cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup (5 oz) whole cherry tomatoes
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp capers
- 1 tbsp The Spice Girl Kitchen Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large Dutch oven or any oven-safe dish, add the salmon fillets, olive oil, Boursin cheese, spinach, cherry tomatoes, garlic, capers, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Cover the dish with a lid or foil and bake for 20–30 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the tomatoes have softened.
- Remove the dish from the oven and gently flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces. Stir everything together until the cheese is melted and well combined into a creamy sauce.
- Add the cooked linguine and toss until fully coated in the Boursin sauce. Serve hot with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon, if desired.
