Ginger Miso Salmon Steaks
Ginger Miso Salmon Steaks are the perfect healthy weeknight fish dinner recipe! These simple to prepare miso ginger salmon steaks are baked using the low and slow method to ensure perfectly cooked fish. Your family will absolutely love them.
You know those meals that, when you make them once, you want to make them again and again forever and ever? These salmon steaks were like that for us and they will soon be your go-to recipe too.
Cooking salmon can be a touch tricky as it has a tendency to dry out and become rubbery if you overcook it. However, I've got the trick for cooking perfect salmon every time and, I'm going to share it with you.
In order to prevent salmon from drying out, you want to cook it at a low temp in the oven. I cook these at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
Low and slow is definitely the way to go.
By cooking the salmon slowly you get perfectly tender and melt in your mouth fish. Try this method just once and you'll be hooked. Trust me. It's the only method I use for baking fish.
And, do watch out for bones when you eat your steaks. There does tend to be quite a few of them. If you're serving this to kids you might want to make salmon fillets for them. You can cook them exactly the same.

You first say you cook these at 220°. Then in the recipe steps you say 300°.
Which is the correct temperature???
Thank you for pointing out that error! The correct temperature is 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
I made this today, and I’ve never tasted salmon so juicy and flavorful! My cooking time was longer than 20 minutes, but they came out great. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

Celsius and Fahrenheit two different things I think.
Yes, they are! I’ve updated the recipe now to indicate the temperature is in Fahrenheit. My apologies if that caused some confusion!
I just made this recipe and it was really good. Very easy to make, so it’s definitely a keeper. Thank you!

We eat a lot of salmon in this house, but I always seem to go for the fillets, this is on the menu for next week!
