*You can grill this dish too, but use caution, the sweetness of the marinade can burn easily if the grill is too hot. Before grilling, wipe the marinade off the salmon and rub the salmon with a teaspoon of sesame oil and wipe the grill with a teaspoon of sesame oil. Slow even heat is the trick to grilling this dish. Grill the salmon fillets four minutes on each side. This salmon is great served with Baby Bok Choy with Sesame and Ginger.
