Succulent, crispy-skinned salmon is glazed with soy, mustard, and ginger, before getting a final sprinkle of nutty sesame seeds.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and halve carrots lengthwise; cut into 3-inch-long, 1⁄2-inch-thick pieces. Peel and mince or grate ginger. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Zest and quarter lime.
• Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. • Cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 TBSP butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in rice, 3⁄4 cup water (1 1⁄2 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, in a small bowl, combine scallion whites, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle. • In a separate small bowl, combine sweet soy glaze, mustard, remaining ginger, and a squeeze of lime juice.
• Pat salmon* dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium- high heat. Add salmon, skin sides down; cook until skin is lightly browned and crispy, 5-7 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until fish is opaque and cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. • Add sauce to pan; turn salmon to thoroughly coat. Remove pan from heat.
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and season with salt and pepper. • Toss carrots with lime zest to taste. • Divide rice, carrots, and salmon between plates; drizzle salmon with any remaining sauce. Top with pickled scallion whites, scallion greens, and sesame seeds. Drizzle with as much Sriracha as you like. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
Fish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Very filling. I skipped the pickling of the scallions because I don't like pickled things. But the soy glaze was very good! I'm also a fan of the ginger scallion rice.
Love the added ginger, and mustard gave it a nice richness. Salmon was nice and lean.
The sauce on this mixed with the pickled scallions was the real star of the show. I could eat those on almost any protein on top of rice and be a happy camper.
Great proportion of salmon. Easy to cook meal and the ginger in the rice was something new to me. Added great flavor.
Fantastic salmon the sauce was perfect, nice size of ingredients. Always love lime zest in my rice.
While the meal was easy to cook, I think the portion on cooking the fish could have been improved. Had to do improvising as using the tongs pictured to attempt to flip the fish, but it all fell apart. It could be an error with my pan heating, but I did find success using a spatula. Still a wonderful meal!
Followed directions to the T on the broccoli and it was very dry. Next time I will prepare it differently than what the recipe directs. Salmon and rice flavors were delicious! Will definitely order again simply for the flavor combo.
The most delicious meal I've gotten from Hello Fresh. Easy to cook and filling portions. I'm going to get this every chance I get!
Very well balanced. We used less Thai chili sauce than was in the recipe to avoid over sweetness.
This is tasty. Has umami and literally basting in flavor. I would order again.
