# Method:

01 - Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
02 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
03 - Pat salmon fillets dry and season both sides evenly with salt and pepper. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil. Brush half the glaze evenly over the salmon fillets.
05 - Bake salmon for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
06 - Remove salmon from oven, brush with remaining glaze, then return to oven and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
07 - Divide cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet, shredded cabbage, cucumber slices, julienned carrot, scallions, sliced avocado, and toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
