Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and spoon the marinade evenly over them, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the oven and sprinkle with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Pair with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
