Instructions
Preheat the grill over medium-high direct heat.
Brush oil on the grill grates.
Finely chop the cilantro and scallions, and mix in 2 teaspoons of the oil and the ginger.
Cut two 3-inch long slits through the skin lengthwise on the bottom of the salmon fillets, going about halfway into the salmon. Evenly stuff the slits with the herb mixture.
Sprinkle the fish all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper.
Stir together the honey, lime juice and soy sauce until smooth.
Place the salmon skin-side up on the grill and cook until well-marked, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon and continue to cook, brushing the tops with the sauce, until the fish is cooked through, about another 3 to 4 minutes.
Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle the tops with the sesame seeds.
Combine the edamame, 1 tablespoon water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high until warm through, about 3 minutes.
Divide the salmon, edamame, brown rice and orange wedges evenly among four plates.
Serve each with a glass of milk.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon can be paired with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Louis Jadot Pinot Noir with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 24 dollars per bottle.

Louis Jadot Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir Jadot is a pure varietal wine produced from Pinot Noir musts and wines selected from village-level vineyard sites throughout the Côte d'Or and Côte Chalonnaise. As with several of their smaller wines, Maison Louis Jadot practices a "réplis" to improve the quality of the wine by declassifying some wines of higher appellation to be incorporated into the blend. The final lots are carefully chosen, and, depending on the vintage, aged for a number of months in oak casks to evoke the clean, ripe red berry flavors and earthiness of the grape mellowed by a subtle touch of wood. Reflective of the Jadot style, Pinot Noir Jadot is harmonious and balanced, with a plump fruitiness and silky texture offset by round, gentle tannins in a wine of medium body and elegant structure. The very typical, fragrant varietal bouquet is complemented by a delicious, lingering finish.
