# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Combine 4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and 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 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat salmon fillets dry, season evenly with salt and black pepper, and arrange on the 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 evenly over the salmon fillets. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven, brush with the remaining glaze, then return to oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
05 - Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet, shredded cabbage, cucumber slices, julienned carrot, scallions, sliced avocado, and toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with lime wedges.
