Preparation:
1. Marinate the Salmon: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Add salmon cubes and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
2. Sear the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated salmon cubes and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
3. Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the remaining marinade ingredients (soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
4. Glaze the Salmon: Pour the thickened glaze over the seared salmon cubes and toss to coat.
5. Serve: Garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Total Time: 30 minutes (marinating time) + 10 minutes (cooking time) = 40 minutes
