Step 1
In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 minced garlic clove until the honey dissolves.
Step 2
Thread 2 fish cakes onto each of 4 wooden skewers, pushing them snugly together.
Step 3
Brush the fish cakes generously with the soy-honey glaze on both sides.
Step 4
Grill the skewers over medium-hot charcoal, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the edges are lightly charred and the surface is glossy, about 8-10 minutes total.
Step 5
Brush with any remaining glaze during the last minute of grilling, then sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds before serving.
