Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and black pepper.
Coat the salmon fillets on all sides in the marinade and let them sit for 30 minutes to overnight, skin-side up.
When ready, remove the fillets and pat dry with paper towel.
Place the marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half. Set aside to cool down.
Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat. Once hot, drizzle the salmon fillets with olive oil on all sides and place them skin-side down in the skillet. Turn down the heat, and let the fish cook for 5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3 minutes. When the salmon has changed color from a vibrant, translucent red or orange to a more opaque, pale pink, remove the salmon fillets from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Brush the soy sauce glaze over the fillets and garnish with toasted white sesame seeds and cilantro leaves.
