instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients & roast the vegetables
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores. Quarter lengthwise. Peel the carrots; quarter lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Roughly chop the peanuts. Line two sheet pans with foil. Place the quartered peppers and carrot pieces on one sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 15 to 17 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

Cook & finish the rice
Meanwhile, carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced white bottoms of the scallions. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until softened. Add the rice, 2 cups of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and a big pinch of salt; stir to combine. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in the cilantro sauce. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover to keep warm.

Roast the salmon
Meanwhile, pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Transfer to the remaining sheet pan, skin side down. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast 12 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through.* Remove from the oven.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.

Make the sauce & serve your dish
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the honey, 1 tablespoon of water, and as much of the chile paste as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Serve the roasted salmon with the roasted vegetables and finished rice. Top the salmon with the sauce and sour cream. Garnish with the sliced green tops of the scallions and chopped peanuts. Enjoy!
