Description

Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian dish that is as simple as it is delicious. This light-hearted salad features flaked canned salmon tossed with fresh diced tomatoes, thinly sliced green onions, and a bright splash of lemon juice. The flavors meld beautifully as the dish chills, creating a juicy, savory, and slightly tangy side that pairs perfectly with grilled meats or fish. It requires no cooking, making it an ideal make-ahead option for potlucks, holidays, or busy weeknight dinners. The combination of rich salmon and crisp vegetables offers a satisfying texture and a burst of fresh flavor that captures the essence of aloha spirit on a plate.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain the canned salmon, reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid.
  2. Flake the salmon into small pieces, removing any large bones if desired.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and lemon juice.
  4. Pour the reserved 2 tablespoons of salmon liquid over the mixture.
  5. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Serve chilled as a side dish or light main course.

Note

For best flavor, use ripe, firm tomatoes. If tomatoes are very juicy, you may reduce the reserved salmon liquid slightly.

Traditional Lomi Lomi often includes salted salmon (poi salmon), but canned pink or red salmon works well for a lighter version.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This dish can be served alongside rice, poi, or grilled meats for a complete meal.
