According to FDA food safety guidelines raw seafood should be frozen at -4°F or below for 7 days before consumption. Our fish is flash-frozen which makes it safe for raw or sushi, consumption. Do not use this recipe with Lake Michigan salmon or grocery store deli salmon that has not been previously blast-frozen.
What is Lomi Lomi? Lomi lomi salmon is a traditional Hawaiian dish, showcasing the vibrant mix of salmon, tomatoes, onions, and green onions. The name comes from the Hawaiian technique of gently massaging or mixing the ingredients. Served at Hawaiian celebrations, it reflects cultural significance. The dish is fresh, colorful, and known for its balance of flavors. Originally, fish was cured with sea salt, but it evolved with the introduction of tomatoes. Lomi lomi salmon is versatile, enjoyed on its own or with other Hawaiian dishes. Salmon's cultural importance and the dish's adaptability make it a delicious symbol of Hawaiian culinary heritage.
