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