I accidentally erased my iMac through the Find my iPhone App on my iPhone

I accidentally erased my iMac through the Find my iPhone App on my iPhone. Can I recover/restore it? It was only showing a folder with a question mark but was able to use the command "r" keys to get it to macOS Recovery

but I am not sure what to do from there. TIA.

iMac (M1, 2021)
