Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger minced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cups cooked brown or white rice

Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and honey to create the marinade.

- Transfer the salmon to a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

- Place the cooked salmon on top of the rice bowls, drizzle with the reserved marinade, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
