Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and black pepper directly on the baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes until they are tender but still have a slight snap.
While the asparagus roasts, whisk together the tamari, honey, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl to create the glaze.
Season the salmon fillet with the remaining salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side.
During the last 2 minutes of searing, pour the tamari glaze into the pan, spooning it over the salmon repeatedly until it thickens and becomes glossy.
Plate the salmon over the roasted asparagus, drizzle with any remaining glaze from the pan, and garnish with sesame seeds.
