# Directions:

01 - Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Combine rice, 4 cups water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, 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 the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat salmon fillets dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Arrange fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil until fully combined.
04 - Brush half of the glaze evenly over the salmon fillets. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
05 - Remove salmon from oven, brush with remaining glaze, and return to bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
06 - Divide cooked jasmine rice evenly among four bowls. Top each serving with a salmon fillet, then garnish with shredded cabbage, sliced cucumber, julienned carrot, scallions, sliced avocado, and toasted sesame seeds. Add fresh cilantro if desired and serve with lime wedges.
