Lomi Lomi Salmon with Scallions

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Appetizers Salads
Lomi Lomi relies on the process of denaturation via salt (curing) and mechanical agitation ('lomi' means to massage). The salt draws moisture out of the salmon, concentrating its flavor and firming up the texture, while the mechanical mixing bruises the tomatoes slightly, releasing their pectin and juices to create a natural dressing.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Very Sharp Knife: You want clean cubes of salmon, not torn chunks. A sharp knife ensures precision.
  • Mixing Bowl (Chilled): Keeping the bowl cold helps maintain the fat integrity of the salmon during mixing.

⚠️ Fish

Instructions

1 ✓

Dice salmon into small cubes. Massage the salt into the fish and let it sit for 30 mins.

Tip: This step is effectively a quick-cure. The salt penetrates the protein, changing the texture from raw/mushy to firm/bouncy.
2 ✓

Combine with tomatoes and onions. Toss gently by hand.

Tip: Soaking the onions in ice water for 10 minutes beforehand removes the sulfur compounds that cause 'onion breath' and harshness.
3 ✓

Add ice cubes to the bowl and chill before serving.

Tip: Temperature is a key ingredient. The ice keeps the fat in the salmon solid, preventing the dish from feeling oily or heavy.

Recipe FAQ

Is it raw?
Technically yes, but the salt "cures" it slightly. Use high-quality, fresh salmon (sushi grade).
Can I use regular salt?
Hawaiian Alaea salt adds a specific earthy flavor, but sea salt is a fine substitute. Do not use table salt (iodine taste).
How long does it last?
Eat within 24 hours. The texture degrades quickly as the salt draws out moisture.
