Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare the grill.

In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish or on a grill pan.

Pour the maple glaze over the salmon, ensuring it is well coated.

Sprinkle black pepper and salt over the fillets to taste.

Let the salmon marinate for 15-30 minutes for enhanced flavor.

If baking, place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until cooked through.

If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the salmon for 5-7 minutes per side.

Check for doneness; the salmon should flake easily with a fork.

Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
