Salmon lomi-lomi

National Hawaiian fish food - "lomi-lomi". And in Russian we would call it "fish salad". But you must agree, for a culinary recipe, lomi-lomi sounds much more mysterious, and evokes thoughts of distant countries and exoticism. We are offered the basis for this dish, because there is no single recipe for making lomi-lomi. Once in a while, each cook adds different ingredients to his own taste.
To begin with, I wash my hands thoroughly, because this food is prepared with my bare hands. Then with your hands! tear the salmon fillet into small pieces. In the same place, add peeled and chopped tomatoes and thinly sliced onions. In the original recipe, the Maui onion variety is recommended, but it is stipulated that you can add any onion and even green. The finished mixture is rubbed with hands for a long time and thoroughly, almost to a homogeneous consistency. Zapat is sent to the refrigerator. They eat lomi-lomi very cold, sometimes even add ice cubes to the salad itself.
If you don't have salted salmon on hand (for reference: salmon is called salmon or solomon in most countries of the world), but only fresh, you can pickle it literally overnight. You just need to salt the fillet firmly on all sides and leave it overnight. And then rinse thoroughly in cold water.
