How to Make Miso Salmon Cheesecake Factory Recipe

Step 1: Make the glaze

First, add the miso paste, soy sauce, and hot water to a mixing bowl. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients until they become smooth. Make sure the sauce is clear.

Step 2: Glaze salmon

Put a pan on low heat and add 1 tsp olive oil. Put your salmon skin side on the oil. Sear the salmon for 2 minutes. Now put half of the glaze prepared on the salmon. Use a brush to layer the ice properly on the fillet. 

Step 3: Broil salmon and reglaze

Preheat your oven to the broil setting for 10 minutes. Place your salmon in a baking tray and put the baking tray in the middle section of the range. It will evenly cook the salmon from the rear and top. Broil the salmon for about 8 minutes before allowing it to cool.

Step 4: Make sake butter

Add 1 tsp of butter into a saucepan and melt it on medium heat. Add garlic and ginger paste to the melted butter and saute for 2/3 minutes. Pour around 100 ml of sake into the butter. Please bring it to a boil and add heavy cream. Wait for the sauce to reduce in half; add the remaining butter.

Reduce the heat to low and start whisking all the ingredients. It’s time to add a splash of lemon juice and a pinch of salt to taste when everything is thickened.

Step 5: Plating

First, place your cooked rice on the plate. Pour the sake butter into the rice. Place your broiled salmon on the rice and brush a little miso glaze again. Serve with the frozen vegetables on the side, and enjoy.
