# Directions:

01 - Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil. Add rice, cover, reduce heat to low, 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. Pat salmon fillets dry, season both sides with salt and black pepper, and place on prepared baking sheet.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil until combined.
04 - Brush half of the glaze over the salmon fillets. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with remaining glaze, then return to oven and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
05 - Divide cooked jasmine rice evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet, shredded cabbage, cucumber, julienned carrot, scallions, avocado slices, and toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with lime wedges.
