- Whisk soy sauce, honey, ginger and garlic together in a bowl until marinade is evenly mixed. Set aside 1/4 of the marinade.
- Place salmon fillets in shallow dish; pour the remaining marinade over the salmon. Cover dish with cling wrap and refrigerate for 5 minutes.
- Heat sesame oil in a large fry pan over medium-high heat.
- Remove salmon from marinade, shaking to remove excess marinade; place, skin-side up, into the hot oil; cook for 4 minutes. Discard unused marinade in the shallow dish. Flip salmon and drizzle the reserved 1/4 of the marinade over salmon; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip salmon, remove skin, and cook 1 minute more.

I usually just make salmon with lemon pepper or salt and pepper with olive oil, but wanted to know some great ways to prepare salmon using sesame oil. I made this salmon without the ginger (we did not have this at the house) and it still came out so well. I can only wonder how good it will taste next time when we do add the ginger. Very easy to follow instructions and short preparation time! - 01 Mar 2016 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
The oil and marinade burned in the pan. Mine looked like some of the pictures with a black crust. It was OK - I prefer pan baked to frying in a pan. I also beg to differ that prep is 10 minute considering I had to measure the items, mince a garlic, and grate a ginger root it took a bit more time - 14 Jan 2019 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
It's better to sear the meat side for only three minutes and cook the skin side for 6 or 7 minutes to make it crispy - 13 Jan 2019 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
