03 - Pat salmon fillets dry and season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Brush half of the glaze over the salmon.
05 - Bake salmon for 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
06 - Brush salmon with remaining glaze. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
07 - Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet, shredded cabbage, cucumber, carrot, scallions, avocado slices, and toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with lime wedges.
