1. 1.

   Heat the oven to 425°F. Scrub and trim 1 bunch golden beets (about 8 oz of bulbs); peel any tough skin and cut the bulbs into 1/2-inch wedges. Thinly slice 2 green onion stalks for serving.

2. 2.

   Pat dry 12 oz coho salmon, cut into 2 portions, and presalt with 3/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt. Refrigerate while the beets begin roasting.

3. 3.

   Toss the beet wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 3/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt. Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes.

4. 4.

   While the beets roast, rinse 1/2 cup dry jasmine rice. Bring it to a simmer in a covered saucepan with 3/4 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt. Cook on low for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave covered for 5 minutes.

5. 5.

   Grate 1 teaspoon ginger. Whisk it into a glaze with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons honey, and 2 teaspoons rice vinegar.

6. 6.

   After the beets have roasted for 15 minutes, move them to the edges of the pan. Set the salmon in the center, skin-side down, and spoon the glaze over it. Roast for 10–12 minutes, until the salmon reaches 125°F at its thickest point. Rest for 3 minutes.

7. 7.

   Fluff the rice and divide it between two plates. Add the roasted beets and salmon, then scatter the sliced green onions over both plates.
