Cheesecake Factory Miso Salmon: Price & Calories (2026)
Cheesecake Factory Miso Salmon is the sweet-savory salmon on the menu, miso-marinated and served with snow peas, white rice and a miso sauce, at $29.95 to $33.95 and 1,340 calories, and it is the one salmon in the top price tier you can order gluten-free upon request. The rest of this page breaks down the price across 21 official location menus, the full nutrition row, and how it stacks up against Herb Crusted, the other salmon at the same price.
What is Miso Salmon?
The official menu describes it in one line: "Miso Marinated Salmon Served with Snow Peas, White Rice and a Delicious Miso Sauce." That is the whole plate, and the miso does the work twice, once as the marinade on the fish and once as the sauce it arrives with. The snow peas are the vegetable and the white rice is the side, which is why this plate eats differently from the other salmons: the Herb Crusted plate is lemon and herb with asparagus and mashed potatoes, while this one is sweet and savory with rice. Do not confuse it with Teriyaki Salmon, a different dish on the specials card, or with the Lunch Salmon choice menu, where Miso is one of four picks rather than a dish of its own.
How much does Miso Salmon cost?
$31.95 is the median across 21 official location menus, with the range running $29.95 to $33.95. Five stores charge the $29.95 low end, thirteen charge $31.95, and two charge the $33.95 top end, so most of the country pays the same number. Chesterfield lists $27.50, the one menu under the floor, so the range starts at $29.95 instead.

1,340 calories, and the sugar is the number to watch
A plate has 1,340 calories, and the sugar is the number to watch. The fat is 67g with 610 calories from fat and 31g of saturated fat, the protein is 64g, and the carbohydrates are 120g with 5g of fiber and 27g of sugar, the most sugar on any salmon plate here, because the miso sauce is sweet and the white rice adds up. The cholesterol is 240mg and the sodium is 1,430mg, so this is a rich plate, not a light one. Against the other salmon, the gap to Herb Crusted is only 10 calories, while the SkinnyLicious salmon sits 750 calories lower. Every measure for this plate lives in the miso salmon nutrition numbers, in the same layout as the other salmon.

Is Miso Salmon gluten-free?
Yes, upon request, and that is what sets this salmon apart from Herb Crusted. The dish carries the Gluten Free Upon Request marker on all 21 menus checked, which means the kitchen can prepare it for guests with a sensitivity to gluten. The standard plate is not gluten-free as served, which is why the marker exists at all, so order it as the gluten-free preparation and say so plainly when you order. The nutrition guide lists that preparation at 1,330 calories, 10 fewer than the standard plate. On milk, our sources do not settle it for this plate, so ask your server if that matters to you. For the wider picture, see the marked gluten-free dishes across the menu, and the allergen details for cross-contact notes.
Miso or Herb Crusted: same price, different plate
These two cost exactly the same range, $29.95 to $33.95, and sit 10 calories apart, 1,340 for Miso against 1,350 for Herb Crusted, so price and calories will not settle it. What settles it is taste and the gluten question. Miso is sweet-savory: miso marinade, snow peas, white rice and a miso sauce, and it is the one of the two you can order gluten-free upon request. The Herb Crusted plate is lemon and herb, with asparagus and mashed potatoes, and it carries no gluten-free marker. The rest of the ladder sits around them: the light salmon at 590 calories for the lightest plate, Grilled at 1,270 for the plainest, and Cajun at 1,570 for the richest.

| Salmon | Dinner price | Dinner calories | What sets it apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| SkinnyLicious Grilled Salmon | $26.95–$30.95 | 590 | Lightest salmon; vegetables, no sauce |
| Grilled Salmon | $27.95–$31.95 | 1,270 | Plainest plate; also marked gluten-free upon request |
| Miso Salmon | $29.95–$33.95 | 1,340 | Sweet-savory; snow peas, white rice, miso sauce; gluten-free upon request |
| Herb Crusted Filet of Salmon | $29.95–$33.95 | 1,350 | Lemon and herb crust; no gluten-free marker |
| Cajun Salmon | $29.95–$33.95 | 1,570 | Richest plate; heat and the most calories |
The lunch choice menu, and what it saves you
There is no smaller Miso Salmon plate with its own price. At lunch you order Lunch Salmon, a choice menu that costs $19.95 to $23.95 across 20 official location menus, and you pick one of four salmons: Grilled, Herb Crusted, Miso or Cajun. The Miso pick has 1,000 calories at lunch, 340 fewer than the 1,340-calorie dinner plate, and the gluten-free lunch preparation is 990 calories. So the lunch question is not how much smaller the dish is, but which salmon you want at the lunch price, and Miso is the sweet-savory pick of the four, the one with the miso sauce instead of a crust or a plain grill.

Should you order the Miso Salmon?
Same price, different plate: $29.95 to $33.95 at 1,340 calories, the same range as Herb Crusted, and the choice is sweet-savory over herby, with the gluten-free preparation available here and not there. That is the deciding fact, because it is the only one of the two you can order gluten-free upon request. The lightest salmon is 750 calories lighter, and the sugar, 27 grams, is the most on any salmon plate here, so Herb Crusted costs the same when herby is what you want.
