Prepare the salmon marinade: In a shallow dish or resealable bag, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Add the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes. Do not marinate longer than 30 minutes as the acid can start to 'cook' the fish.

Bake the salmon: Remove salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down (if applicable), on the prepared baking sheet.
