Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Start by rinsing the fresh salmon fillet under cold water. Pat it dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Salt the Salmon

    Sprinkle the kosher salt evenly over the salmon fillet. Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes to let the salt penetrate the fish.

  3. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the salmon is salting, chop the green onions and tomatoes. Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and slice the green onions thinly.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, green onions, Hawaiian sea salt, lime juice, and black pepper. If using, finely chop the chili pepper and add it to the mixture.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    After the salmon has salted, rinse it under cold water to remove excess salt. Then, cut it into small bite-sized pieces. Add the salmon pieces to the bowl with the marinade and gently toss until the salmon is well-coated.

  6. 6

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the salmon to cure slightly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    After chilling, give the mixture a gentle stir. Serve the Lomi Lomi Salmon chilled, garnished with additional sliced green onions if desired.
