Bring 1 cup water and @veggie stock concentrate{1%unit} to a boil in a #small pot{}. Once boiling, add @jasmine rice{1%cup}. Cover, lower heat, and reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until tender, ~{15%minutes}. Keep covered off heat until meal is ready.

Wash and dry all produce except @green beans{1%bunch}. Zest @lime{1%unit}, then cut into wedges.

In a #small bowl{}, stir together @sour cream{2%tbsp}, ½ tsp lime zest, a squeeze of lime juice, and @wasabi paste{½%tsp} (to taste— start with a pinch and add more from there). Season with salt and pepper. Give the crema a taste and adjust with more lime zest, lime juice, or wasabi paste as needed.

Heat a large drizzle of @vegetable oil{2%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Pat @skin-on salmon{2%fillets} dry with a paper towel and season all over with salt and pepper. Add to pan skin-side down. Cook until skin is crisp and flesh is almost cooked, ~{5%minutes} to ~{7%minutes}. Flip and cook on other side to desired doneness, ~{1%minute} to ~{2%minutes} more. Remove from pan and set aside.

Pierce green bean bag with a fork and place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for ~{3%minutes} to ~{4%minutes} until beans are tender. Carefully remove beans from bag and transfer to a #large bowl{} along with a drizzle of oil. Toss to coat beans, then add @sesame seeds{1%tsp} and toss again. Season with salt and pepper.

Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in @butter{1%tbsp}. Season with salt and pepper. Divide rice and green beans between plates. Arrange salmon on top of rice, then dollop with crema. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
