Ingredients
- For the Salmon
- 1 cup kosher salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1 pound wild salmon fillet (skin removed), rinsed and patted dry
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Juice of 1 lime
Chopped macadamia nuts, for garnish (optional)
Directions
The next day, unwrap the salmon, rinse off the salt and pat dry. Cut into 1/4-to-1/2-inch cubes.
Make the salad: Toss the salmon, cilantro, tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno, vegetable and sesame oils and lime juice in a bowl. (Traditionally, the cured salmon is flaked and “massaged” with the other ingredients by hand.) Garnish the salad with chopped macadamia nuts, if desired.
