Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 tbsp honey to create a glaze.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush generously with the glaze, coating all sides evenly.
