Prepare the glaze by combining 1/4 cup diced ginger and 6 or 7 cloves of diced garlic in a small saucepan.

Add 1/4 cup tamari, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup cold water to the saucepan.

Bring the saucepan to the stove and simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes, allowing the ginger and garlic to soften and flavor the sauce.

Season the salmon pieces with salt on both the top and bottom.

Melt 2 teaspoons of butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat, being careful not to burn the butter.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Place the salmon pieces face down in the sauté pan, ensuring there is enough space for all 8 pieces.

Cook the salmon on the face side for a few minutes until it starts to cook through.

Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the ginger garlic glaze over each piece of salmon.

Turn off the heat on the stove and transfer the sauté pan to the preheated oven.

Bake the salmon in the oven for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the inside is cooked through.

Remove the salmon from the oven and transfer it to a serving plate.

Pour the remaining glaze from the pan over the salmon before serving.
