  1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over top. Spray the rack with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl or baking dish, combine olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, vinegar, brown sugar and whisk well until combined. Add salmon to the dish or place everything in a ziplock bag, then refrigerate and marinate for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the broiler in your oven. (Or preheat your grill, etc if you prefer to use something else.)
  4. Remove salmon with kitchen tongs and place directly on the wire rack. Sprinkle with a little bit of salt and pepper, then place directly under the broiler. Cook for 10-12 minutes, depending on the salmon’s thickness (our’s was just about an inch thick), until opaque and easily flakable with a fork. You can flip the salmon halfway through cooking if desired.
  5. Remove and serve immediately, with a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds, green onions and the glaze below.
