Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place on a plate until needed.
Tear off a four 16” sheets of non-stick foil
Place one cup of Jasmine rice in the center of the foil , perpendicular to the longer sides.
Place a salmon filet on top of the rice, then brush the salmon with the mango bourbon glaze.
Bring up the long sides of the foil, so the ends meet over the food. Double fold the ends, leaving room for heat to circulate inside. Then double fold the two short ends to seal the packet. Repeat this process for all four salmon filets.
Place the packets on a sheet pan or baking sheet and place into the oven for 15-20 minutes.

Remove the salmon from the oven and carefully cut the tops off of each foil packet using kitchen scissors.
Open each packet and slide the entire dish onto a plate. (the foil will be hot, so use a towel or gloves when handling the packets). Repeat the process with each packet.
Garnish the salmon with toasted sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro. Serve with your favorite vegetable and enjoy!
