    From the Test Kitchen

    To finish roasted salmon, you'll top it with a mixture of honey and chipotle chile paste for a sweet heat, plus a dollop of sour cream for cooling contrast. A side of roasted carrots and peppers are garnished with peanuts for a satisfying crunch.

    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.

    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.

Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until opaque and cooked through. Turn off the heat.
