Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1
  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
  • In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. 

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Prep
2
  • While rice cooks, place honey packet in a small cup of warm water to soften.
  • Trim green beans if necessary.
Coat Salmon
3
  • In a small bowl, combine panko and half the chili crispTIP: Not a big fan of spice? Use a large drizzle of oil instead of the chili crisp.

  • Pat salmon* dry with paper towels; place on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet, skin sides down. Season all over with half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. Brush a thin layer of honey on flesh sides of salmon. Mound chili panko mixture on top of each fillet, pressing to adhere.

Roast Salmon & Green Beans
4
  • Add green beans to empty side of baking sheet with salmon. Toss green beans 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, place salmon and green beans on separate baking sheets; roast salmon on top rack and green beans on middle rack.)

Make Sauce
5
  • Meanwhile, in a second small bowl, combine mayonnaisejam, Sriracha, and remaining garlic powder. Add water 1 tsp at a time until sauce reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish & Serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork.

  • Divide rice, green beans, and salmon between plates. Top with firecracker sauce and serve with remaining chili crisp on the side if desired.

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: The chili crisp panko crust paired with the sweet-and-spicy firecracker sauce made this a standout salmon dish for many 🌶️.
  • Ease of prep: The recipe is quick and straightforward — cooking rice in a rice cooker made it even easier, and the oven does most of the work.
  • Suggestions: Reduce the honey slightly if you prefer less sweetness; use less chili crisp for a milder crust, or swap in a drizzle of oil as the recipe suggests. Cook the salmon a few minutes longer than the stated 8–10 minutes if your fillets are thick.
  • Leftovers: Chop leftover salmon and mix it with the rice and firecracker sauce the next day — one reviewer called it a great lunch.
  • Green beans: Roast them a few minutes longer than the recipe suggests for a more tender result; several reviewers found them still a bit crunchy at the recommended time.

Really good! Had to cook the salmon for a lot longer than the directions said, and I wish that the dill that is photographed on the salmon came with the recipe. But I will absolutely order this one again!

The combination of the chili, crisp and honey in the coating was surprisingly tasty.

Do not recommend putting salmon with skin on top of rice. Think about it.

Guidance on how thick to make the panko on top of the salmon would be good

The meal was very good. I did not use the panko on the fish and I'm glad I left it out. Also, I was sent the incorrect recipe card; glad the instructions are on the app.

AMAZING!! I only used a tiny glob of mayo and added soy sauce to the sauce. But didn't use as much sauce for the overall meal.
