Ingredients

Units
  • 1 lb salted salmon fillet
  • 4 large ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 large sweet onion, finely diced
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 Hawaiian chili pepper, minced (optional)
  • Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the salted salmon under cold running water to remove excess salt.

  2. 2

    Place salmon in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 15-20 minutes to further reduce saltiness.

  3. 3

    Remove salmon from water and pat dry with paper towels.

  4. 4

    Using your hands, shred the salmon into small, bite-sized flakes, removing any bones or skin.

  5. 5

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded salmon with diced tomatoes and sweet onion.

  6. 6

    Using your hands, gently mix and massage the ingredients together, breaking up the salmon further if needed.

  7. 7

    Add green onions, cilantro, and chili pepper if using.

  8. 8

    Season lightly with black pepper, tasting as you go since the salmon is already salted.

  9. 9

    Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

  10. 10

    Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish with rice or poi.
