Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust rack to top position (top and middle for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425°F. In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4) and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
- While rice cooks, place honey packet in a small cup of warm water to soften. Trim green beans if necessary.
- In a small bowl, combine panko and half the chili crisp. (Tip: If you prefer less spice, use a drizzle of oil instead of chili crisp.) Pat salmon dry with paper towels; season all over with half the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Brush a thin layer of honey on the flesh sides of salmon. Mound the chili panko mixture on top of each fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
- Lightly oil a baking sheet; place salmon skin side down on one side. Toss green beans on the empty side with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until salmon is browned and cooked through and green beans are tender, 8-10 minutes. (For 4 servings, use separate baking sheets; roast salmon on top rack and green beans on middle rack.)
- Meanwhile, in a second small bowl, combine mayonnaise, jam, Sriracha and remaining garlic powder. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time until sauce reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fluff rice with a fork. Divide rice, green beans and salmon between plates. Drizzle with firecracker sauce and serve with remaining chili crisp on the side if desired.
Recipe Tips
For a milder crust, substitute the chili crisp in the panko with a drizzle of cooking oil.
Make sure to pat the salmon dry so the honey and panko adhere well.
If you have extra time, let the rice rest covered for 5 minutes after cooking for fluffier grains.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of fish?
Yes, you can substitute salmon with another firm fish like cod or trout. Adjust cooking time as needed.
What can I use instead of apricot jam?
You can substitute with peach jam, orange marmalade or a teaspoon of honey mixed with a splash of vinegar.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F to keep the crust crispy.
