Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, mirin, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and water. Stir everything well and let it simmer on medium heat for about 3–5 minutes.

Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down (if skin-on) and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. You want the inside juicy but not raw.

Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the salmon. Serve with rice, noodles, or even a crisp cucumber salad. Done in 25 minutes flat!
