Hawaiian Salmon Food

LOMI LOMI SALMON

Steps:

• Dice all the ingredients (salted salmon, tomatoes, onions, and green onions) separately. You want small, bite-sized pieces, think pencil eraser size.
• Put it all together into a big bowl.
• Lomi aka gently knead the ingredients together until well mixed. There is no need to salt or season because the salmon is already salted.
• Eat and enjoy!

GRILLED HAWAIIAN SALMON

Steps:

• Place cleaned salmon on a large piece of heavy foil, open and flat with skin side down.
• Spread mayonnaise on one side of fish, and layer sliced tomatoes on top.
• Put salmon back together as a whole fish, and layer lemon slices over salmon.
• Wrap with foil and grill for 30 minutes (or until fish flakes easily): you can also do this with salmon steaks.

HAWAIIAN SALMON WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Rinse the salmon in cool water and pat it dry.
• In a bowl combine 2 teaspoons oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon ginger.
• Coat both sides of fish with the mixture and refrigerate for up to an hour.
• While the fish marinates prepare the Pineapple Salsa.
• Heat the remaining oil in a medium skillet.
• Add the yellow pepper and onion and sauté until soft about 4 minutes.
• Add the crushed pineapple, raisins, cayenne and remaining lemon juice and ginger; sauté until pineapple is warm, about 4 minutes longer.
• (Salsa can be made ahead up to 24 hours; but bring to room temperature before using.).
• Grill or broil the salmon, turning once, until fish is barely opaque in the center, and just begins to flake when tested with a fork about 2 minutes per side for 3/4-inch thick fish steaks.
• Enjoy!
