Instructions
- 1
Soak the salted salmon in cold water for 4-6 hours. Change the water two or three times, then drain and dice finely.
- 2
Dice the tomatoes and onion into small, even pieces.
- 3
Put the salmon, tomato, onion, and green onion into a large bowl.
- 4
Gently massage the ingredients together with your hands for a minute or two. This blends the flavors together.
- 5
Taste the mixture. Add a pinch of Hawaiian salt only if needed.
- 6
Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve over crushed ice if you like.
Chef's tips
Soak the salted salmon in cold water for several hours and change the water twice. This helps balance the salt to your taste before dicing.
Storage
Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 2 days; it is best eaten fresh and chilled.
Reheating
Served cold; do not reheat.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Skipping the soaking step, which makes the dish overwhelmingly salty.
- •Using watery, out-of-season tomatoes that dilute the flavor.
- •Cutting the pieces too large instead of a fine, even dice.
