Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams salted salmon
- 4 medium pieces tomatoes
- 1 medium piece yellow onion
- 2 stalks green onions
- 6 pieces ice cubes
- 500 milliliters water
Instructions
1. Rinse the salted salmon under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat it dry with a paper towel.
2. Dice the salmon into small cubes, about 1/4-inch in size, and set aside.
3. Wash and dice the tomatoes into similar small cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
4. Peel and finely chop the yellow onion, then add it to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.
5. Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the bowl as well.
6. Add the cubed salted salmon to the bowl with the prepared vegetables.
7. Toss the mixture gently with your hands, lightly massaging (or 'lomi lomi' in Hawaiian) the salmon and vegetables together. This ensures even mixing and incorporates the flavors.
8. Add the 500 milliliters of cold water and 6 ice cubes to the bowl. Stir gently to chill the salad and dilute the saltiness slightly.
9. Let the salad sit for about 5-10 minutes. Drain the excess water before serving, ensuring the salad remains lightly moist but not watery.
10. Serve cold as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy the taste of the tropics!
