Notes
You can marinate the salmon ahead of time if you want. Simply whisk all of the ingredients for the sesame ginger sauce in a large bowl or Ziploc bag, then add the salmon filet. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag, then let the salmon sit covered in the marinade in the fridge.Because this marinade is not acid-based, you can marinate the fish for as little as 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the fridge. Any longer and the fish may begin to break down and become mushy.
