Lomi Lomi Salmon with Taro Chips

Lomi lomi salmon...Hawaiian ceviche

When we went to Hawaii, one of the many pleasures on the island was to venture out to find good local stores that sold tasty poke and lomi lomi salmon. Each grocery store had its own seasoning, and we would just sample them out. It is nice to dine at the fancy restaurants, but there is something to be said about trying out the local everyday dishes. You can learn so much about their culture from their food. Anyway, we are looking forward to discovering new lomi lomi salmon and poke from the next trip there.

Bland by themselves but great with lomi lomi salmon

Aloha!

Lomi Lomi Salmon

1/2 lb smoked salmon diced small
4-5 Roma tomatoes diced small
2 stalks green onions sliced thinly
1/2 sweet onion diced small
1 Tbsp sake, optional
1 lime squeezed, optional 

I used the smoked salmon because I found a pack of smoked salmon trims on sale, but normally, you would get a piece of fresh sashimi-grade salmon and salt-cure it over night. Smoked salmon works just fine, though. Combine everything in a bowl and chill in the fridge until ready to serve. Taro chips go great with this. Another idea is to make a hand rolled sushi with this. Maybe I can try that in the next post.
