    The Best Miso Salmon Recipe

    The Cheesecake Factory has to have the biggest menu out of any restaurant.

    I mean, it's massive.

    And, with that many options, sometimes I think it's almost impossible to pick what to order.

    But, if you've ever ordered the miso salmon there, then you know how delicious it is, and it's totally worth getting when you go.

    However, if you want to enjoy some miso salmon deliciousness in the comfort of your own home - and not at the restaurant - this recipe has got you covered! It's incredibly easy to make, and the salmon cooks perfectly.

    So, if you've been looking for the best way to cook salmon, this Cheesecake factory miso salmon recipe won't disappoint!

    And if you're looking for the perfect side to pair with to complete the meal, this sushi rice and these Longhorn Steakhouse brussel sprouts are two fantastic options!

    But you can really serve anything you want on the side, and this dinner will be delicious!

    Ingredients 

    Another reason to love this miso salmon recipe is the simplicity of the ingredient list.

    It may seem like a lot at first glance, but everything is easy to find if you don't have it on hand. 

    Here's everything you'll need to make this easy salmon recipe:

    • 2 tbsp red miso paste
    • 2 tbsp brown sugar
    • 2 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1 tsp white rice vinegar
    • 2 4-oz salmon fillets, deboned, skinned
    • 1 cup snow peas, fresh
    • ½ cup dry sake
    • 1 shallot, minced
    • 1 stick of butter, softened

    Pretty simple ingredients for salmon that have so much flavor.

    Now, if you have to run to the grocery store, you'll want to pick up a few extra salmon fillets. You have to try making these blackened salmon bites, this salmon pasta, bourbon marinated salmon, or this crispy deep fried salmon next! All of them are some of the most delicious salmon recipes you'll ever make.

    How To Make Cheesecake Factory Miso Salmon 

    The process of making this miso salmon Cheesecake Factory recipe is an easy 3 step process. Basically, all you need to do is marinate the salmon, cook the peas, and then finally make the sake butter and cook the salmon.

    So, grab all of the ingredients, and let's get cooking! 

    STEP 1: Marinating The Salmon

    Now, the component that gives this salmon such an incredible flavor is the salmon marinade. 

    To make it, combine the miso paste with the brown sugar, rice vinegar, and soy sauce in a small bowl. And if it's too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of warm water to thin it out. 

    Now you can thoroughly coat the salmon filets with the miso mixture, cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 

    STEP 2: Cooking The Snow Peas

    Ok, so now you'll want to preheat the oven to 355 degrees Fahrenheit (180°C) so it's ready for the salmon once it's done marinating. 

    Then, you can prepare the snow peas.

    To do that, boil 2-3 cups of salted water in a large pot over medium-high heat. Then, blanch the peas for 8-10 minutes, remove them from the heat, and cool down in an ice bath.

    Step 3: Cooking The Salmon & Making The Sake Butter

    After the salmon marinates, line a baking tray with aluminum foil and brush the foil with olive oil. Then, put the salmon on top and roast in the oven for about 12-15 minutes. It should be flaky but still pink inside.  

    Also, while the salmon is cooking, you can make the sake butter.

    First, add the butter and shallots to a pot and cook at medium heat for 7 minutes. Then, add the dry sake, give it a stir to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Step 4: Serving

    So, now that everything is cooked, it's time to serve and dig in!

    Serve the miso salmon with the snow peas on the side, and top it all off with the sake butter.

    Enjoy! 

    How to Store Miso Salmon 

    Alright, so this recipe will make 2 servings. But, if you want to serve it for a family dinner, just double or triple the recipe!

    Then, if you happen to have any leftovers, you can store the miso salmon safely in the fridge for 3-4 days. The best way to keep it is in a shallow airtight container. 

    And it tastes delicious cold, but you can reheat it if you want to as well! For the best experience, you can use it to make this flavorful salmon rice bowl.

    FAQs About Miso Salmon Recipe

    What is miso salmon made of?

    Miso salmon is made of a mix of ingredients - all of which are in this recipe - that gives it such a delicious and unique flavor. The key ingredients that make the salmon glaze are miso paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, and white rice vinegar. And then, to really enhance the flavors, it has a sake butter that gets drizzled on top after the salmon is cooked.

    Can I use miso glaze on other types of fish besides salmon? 

    Yes, you can absolutely use this delicious miso glaze sauce on other types of fish. It goes really well on mahi mahi filets, and you can make this air fryer mahi mahi recipe!

    Honestly, the glaze is so good that you can put it on some vegetables and roast them in the oven. Just mix together the miso glaze marinade ingredients in a bowl, then toss the vegetables in it and roast in the oven!

    How will I know when the salmon is cooked? 

    The salmon will flake when it is fully cooked, which means that it will separate from the natural white lines that run across it. But internal temperature is the best indicator that it is cooked.

    The internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63°C). You'll want to make sure that you use a food thermometer and insert it in the thickest part of the salmon.

    Wrapping it all up 

    Well, that is how to make Cheesecake Factory miso salmon!

    This is one of the most unique - and I think - delicious things on the Cheesecake Factory menu. 

    The salmon takes on a flavor that you just can't get in any other salmon recipes. And with this recipe, you can create this divine restaurant meal in the comfort of your own home! 

    So, whether you're looking for the perfect dinner for date night or want to impress your family, this dish is perfect. 

    Anyway I hope you like this miso salmon Cheesecake Factory recipe as much as I/we do.

      I loved this salmon! When I first tried it at Cheesecake Factory, I was so surprised! I thought that it wouldn’t be that good, but when I ate that sauce and salmon with a topping of green beans, I loved it! And I’m only an 8 year old!

      The miso salmon was awesome and spot on. The sake butter however did come out right for me but I didn’t need it. Made the salmon for friends and they loved it as did a friend I gave the recipe to.

      This recipe is delicious! The butter didn’t turn out for me but I’m willing to give it another shot. This is basically just like the CF version. Thank you!
