These miso-glazed salmon steaks offer a sophisticated balance of savoury, sweet, and tangy flavours. The combination of fermented white miso and aromatic ginger creates a rich, umami-packed crust that beautifully complements the natural oils of the fish. This heart-healthy main course is as nutritious as it is flavourful, providing a generous dose of omega-3 fatty acids while remaining wonderfully light for a midweek dinner.
A perfect choice for those seeking a quick yet elegant meal, this dish requires minimal preparation and relies on a short marinating time to deepen the Japanese-inspired notes. Serve these succulent steaks alongside steamed pak choi or a crisp cucumber salad for a balanced, low-carb supper. The addition of fresh lime wedges provides a citrusy finish that cuts through the richness of the glaze perfectly.

Ingredients for Miso-Glazed Salmon Steaks
Vegetable oil
4 10-to 350g salmon steaks, bone in
80ml white miso
2 tablespoons mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
Kosher salt
4 lime wedges (for serving)
How to make Miso-Glazed Salmon Steaks
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; brush lightly with vegetable oil. Place salmon steaks on prepared baking sheet. Whisk miso, mirin, vinegar, ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl to blend. Spread half the miso mixture over salmon steaks; season lightly with salt. Turn salmon steaks over and spread with remaining miso mixture; season lightly with salt. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
Position an oven rack 6"–8"from grill and preheat. Grill salmon, turning once, until golden brown and just opaque in centre, 10–12 minutes total.
Transfer salmon steaks to plates and serve with lime wedges.
