Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to top position and preheat to 425°F. In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
- While rice cooks, place the honey packet in a small cup of warm water to soften. Trim ends of green beans if needed.
- In a small bowl, mix panko with half the chili crisp. (For less heat, substitute with a drizzle of oil.) Pat salmon dry; season with half the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Brush a thin layer of honey onto the flesh side of each fillet. Press the panko mixture onto the honey-coated side to adhere.
- Lightly oil a baking sheet. Place salmon skin-side down on one side. Toss green beans on the other side with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until salmon is cooked through and green beans are tender, 8-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, apricot jam, Sriracha and remaining garlic powder. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time until the sauce is drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fluff rice with a fork. Divide rice, green beans and salmon among plates. Drizzle with firecracker sauce and serve with remaining chili crisp on the side if desired.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy crust, broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.
If you prefer less spice, reduce the chili crisp in the panko mixture and add a little extra oil.
Make sure to pat the salmon dry so the honey and panko stick well.
