Recently I received a gift package with a cute little salmon shaped cutting board and a package of smoked salmon. Sometimes this kind of smoked salmon is not the best for just eating plain, but is perfect to use in something, such as Lomi Lomi. The other ingredients were on hand so I decided to make a small batch.
It's wonderful having veggies from my CSA box:
And it couldn't be easier to mix up and serve. Takes about two minutes, max. And I love how it looks in the turquoise Fiesta mixing bowl.
When slicing the onion, I used my little hand held Kyocera mandolin. This is a wonderful tool. If you don't have one, you need one. It's so easy to use and clean that I find myself using it several times a week.
| Lomi Lomi Salmon Serves 4 8 oz smoked salmon, finely chopped 1 cup thinly sliced green onion 1 cup peeled & diced tomato 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper Hawaiian red salt, optional Mix salmon, onions, tomato, and bell pepper. Taste and add some salt, if desired. Your salmon may be salty enough that no extra is needed. Chill well for several hours to allow flavours to blend. Serve with assorted crackers. |

Lomi Lomi is new to me, and you're right about needing to perk up smoked salmon. Great story about your authentic luau birthday complete with authentic Spam! Thanks for reminder that I need a new mandolin.
Margie, I had never heard of Lomi Lomi before I started researching foods for our luau. Since then it has been an appetizer I make fairly regularly when I can get good tomatoes. If you like the flavour of smoked salmon, give this a try. I usually put it on Carr's Table Water Crackers.
When we served the Spam, we cut it up in cubes and browned it. Then served it with toothpicks and a pineapple dipping sauce. May have been Jezebel sauce, but I don't recall at the moment.
That Kyocera mandolin is so cool. Comes in other colours, too. I wound up giving the black one to my Mom and ordered one for myself in yellow. They also make one that juliennes. For that one I got chartreuse.
