Lomi Lomi Salmon

This is the kind of Hawaiian dinner you’ll make on repeat — salted salmon and tomatoes, 30 minutes, big payoff. Each serving lands at 280 calories with 26g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Salted salmon
• 4 Tomatoes
• 1 Sweet onion
• 4 Green onions
• 2 cups Ice

Steps

1. Dice the salted salmon small and rinse briefly — lomi salmon should be seasoned, not salty.
2. Massage the salmon with your hands (lomi means to massage) with the diced tomatoes and onion.
3. Chill over ice 20 minutes so it stays cold and the flavors marry.
4. Serve as a side with poi and kalua pig; it is the cool, bright counterpoint on the luau plate.
5. Lomi lomi is a side dish, not a main — serve it next to kalua pig and poi for the full plate.
