Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with half of the sesame oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, maple syrup, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic to create the teriyaki glaze.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining sesame oil.
Season the salmon fillet with a pinch of salt and sear for 4 minutes on the first side until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and pour the glaze into the skillet, allowing it to bubble and thicken for 2-3 minutes while spooning it over the fish.
Once the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is glossy, remove from heat.
Plate the salmon over the warm brown rice with the roasted asparagus on the side, then garnish with sesame seeds.
