Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and toss with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the asparagus roasts, whisk together the tamari, maple syrup, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and place the salmon skin-side down, searing for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon and pour the tamari mixture into the pan, allowing it to bubble and reduce into a thick glaze for 2-3 minutes.
Spoon the glaze repeatedly over the salmon to coat it thoroughly as it finishes cooking.
Plate the roasted asparagus and top with the glazed salmon, then garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
