How to Make Sesame Salmon Fillet

Preheat your broiler or grill to medium-high heat.
Place salmon fillets (about 6 oz each) in a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger.
Pour the honey-mustard glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours, turning the fillets halfway through.
Remove salmon from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Broil or grill the salmon for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets).
Garnish with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions before serving.
