Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil. Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil until the sugar dissolves.
Step 3: Brush the glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
Step 4: Broil the salmon 6 inches from the heat source for 8-10 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Remove from oven and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
