Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha, garlic, ginger, lime juice, black pepper, and salt.

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.

Let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove the salmon from the marinade and reserve the marinade for basting.

Grease the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill.

Grill the salmon for 6-8 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade halfway through.

Flip the salmon and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes before serving.
