Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grill grates lightly.
Step 4: Remove salmon from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill the salmon skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until grill marks appear and skin is crispy.
Step 5: Flip carefully and grill for another 3-4 minutes until salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6: Transfer to serving plates and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice or greens.
