# Method:

01 - Rinse jasmine rice under cold running water until clear. In a medium saucepan, combine water and salt, then bring 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 - Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
03 - Pat salmon fillets dry and season both sides evenly with salt and black 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 of the glaze over the salmon fillets.
05 - Bake salmon in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
06 - Remove salmon, brush with remaining glaze, and return to oven for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
07 - Distribute rice evenly into four bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet, shredded cabbage, cucumber, carrot, scallions, avocado slices, and toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with cilantro and serve lime wedges alongside.
