Method
Preparation
Prepare the Glaze
In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, grated ginger, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Salmon
Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the sockeye salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Cooking
Glaze and Cook
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill or a baking sheet. Brush a generous amount of the maple ginger glaze over each fillet. Grill or bake for about 15-20 minutes, basting with more glaze halfway through, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Serving
Garnish and Serve
Remove the salmon from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
