Creating Sake-Glazed Salmon with Sesame Seeds is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the sake, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic until well combined.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for baking, or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
4. Sear the Salmon: In a large skillet heated with sesame oil, sear the salmon fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly golden.
5. Add Marinade: Pour some of the marinade over the salmon while cooking, letting it bubble and reduce slightly.
6. Transfer to Oven: If using the oven, place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-8 minutes. If using a grill, transfer the fillets directly to the grill.
7. Toast Sesame Seeds: In a small pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent burning.
8. Garnish the Salmon: Once the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, remove it from the heat. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.
9. Serve Hot: Plate the salmon fillets and drizzle any remaining glaze on top for extra flavor.
