Using rubber spatula, scrape marinade from salmon and pie plate into small saucepan. Season swordfish lightly with salt and pepper. Broil until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to platter. Boil reserved marinade until syrupy, about 3 minutes. Season with kosher salt and balck pepper. Spoon over salmon. Garnish with orange segments, scallions and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. *To supreme an orange; cut off each end and slice off rind starting from the top down to the bottom of the whole orange; do not leave any white pith.
