Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
### Step 2: Combine the marinade ingredients.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
### Step 3: Marinate the salmon fillets.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a cutting board. Brush the marinade mixture all over the top of each fillet, making sure to coat it thoroughly. Let the salmon fillets marinate for at least 5 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
### Step 4: Remove the salmon from the marinade.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Skin-side up, bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
### Step 5: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Remove the salmon fillets from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy your delicious ginger soy baked salmon!
