While the salmon is baking, pour the marinade from the dish into a small saucepan with the rest of the marinade. In a small bowl, stir together the water and the cornstarch to create a slurry. Once the sauce is simmering, stir in the slurry and continue stirring until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat.

Remove the salmon from the oven and spoon the teriyaki sauce over the tops of each fillet. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Serve at once with more sauce served tableside.
