In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.
Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each fillet is thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
