    Salted salmon folded with tomato, sweet onion and green onion, served well chilled.

    The luau’s cool counterpoint

    Salt-cured salmon massaged (‘lomi lomi’) with tomato and onion — bright, briny, and served cold at every luau.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. If using salt-cured salmon, rinse briefly and pat dry; dice finely.
    2. Combine the salmon, tomatoes, sweet onion, and green onions in a bowl.
    3. Season with salt (taste first — cured salmon is already salty) and pepper.
    4. Add the ice water and crushed ice, toss gently, and chill 30 minutes.
    5. Serve well chilled with pohole or on a cracker.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    The ice and cold water make the dish refreshingly crisp — don't skip the chill. It's a relish, not a salad; serve it in small bowls.
