Lomi Lomi Salmon

Ingredients
1 pound side of salmon, sliced 1-inch thick
Hawaiian or kosher salt
5 tomatoes, chopped
1 Maui onion, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 red Hawaiian chiles, chopped
1 pineapple
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons macadamia nut oil
Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated

Directions
Cure the salmon in salt by putting a layer of Hawaiian
salt in the bottom of a glass dish. Lay a salmon in it and gently press down.
Sprinkle more salt on top and rub it all over the salmon. Top with even more salt,
cover, and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours to pull out the water. Table
salt is not recommended for this process.
Rinse the salmon thoroughly in cold water to wash away a lot of the salt then blot
dry. Cut the salmon in cubes and place in a bowl and add tomatoes, Maui onion,
green onion and chiles. Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise. Make crisscross cuts
in the flesh and scoop out the inside pineapple chunks; add to the bowl. Squeeze
in the lime juice, add oil and black pepper, then toss the mixture to combine all
the ingredients. Cover and chill for 1 hour. Scoop the mixture into the split
pineapple shell and display as a decorative bowl. To eat, spoon the salmon salad

into a lettuce cup.
