Combine the jasmine rice, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes, until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from the heat and let it steam, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a rice paddle or fork.
