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.

If everyone made the same dish the same way what's the point. Any reasonably intelligent person knows how to find traditional... recipes on the net. Food Network has to be entertaining and original every day. Tyler's great.Read more

Not Lomi Lomi
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I agree with Not Traditional. I learned this dish from friend who used a family recipe (delicious by the way). When I saw... pineapple I was like what?? Now That's great for an interesting twist but call it something else. How about Tylers Pineapple Lomi? It's a shame because this came up #1 in a google search. People who are searching for a true Lomi Lomi salmon recipe online are not going to get the real thing with this.Read more

Not TRADITIONAL
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

it is very interesting to see COOKS out there today adding a new twist to traditional dishes... but, it is very sad that... there trying to say in there show or replicate to otheres that the name of the dish is exactly how the recipe goes. NOT TRUE... like this dish called LOMILOMI SALMON. really to make this dish it really has only 4-5 ingredients.... so PLEASE call your own inventions another name.... THIS IS VERY INSULTING TO MY OWN HISTORY....Read more

Good technique
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The instructions for salting the salmon are excellent. Instead of dicing the salmon, I pull it away from the skin and shred... it with my fingers.Read more

The recipe is wonderful and works perfectly if followed as Tyler has laid out. Do allow enough time for the salt to do its... work.Read more
