And now...something not even remotely Chinese!

Lomi Salmon

8 oz very clean salmon cut into ¼" dice
½ c ripe tomato cut into ¼" dice (if you feel all fancy, use equal parts red and yellow tomatoes)
½ c thinly sliced scallions (omit the part that is "dusty green") or finely diced red onions or equal parts of each
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 to 2 dashes hot pepper sauce (I like classic Tabasco)
2 T peanut oil
Coarse pink Hawaiian sea salt or any other coarse sea salt or kosher salt without any artificial ingredients
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste

In a glass bowl, put the salmon and season to taste with the sea salt (don't skimp on the salt) and pepper. Massage the salt into the salmon (this is key) and then add the tomatoes, scallions, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, and oil. The salmon should be well seasoned, and be prepared no longer than 15 minutes before serving.

Depending on how fussy/casual things are, your dicing/slicing can be more or less precise. If you have one with NON serrated blades (i.e., my smaller Braun, not my larger Cuisinart) you could even get away with CAREFULLY using a food processor.
