How to find file vault recovery key?

I purchased a new M1 Mac a couple weeks ago. When the Mac arrived, FileVault already was turned on. In System Settings > Security & Privacy > FileVault, it says that "a recovery key has been set". How do I find out what the recovery key is?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.

If you turned on FileVault, it gives you the recovery key. If you forgot it, see: Use FileVault to encrypt the startup disk on your Mac - Apple Support.
