This Lomilomi Salmon luau recipe was provided courtesy of the Polynesian Cultural Center on the northeast shore of Oahu Island in Hawaii. The Polynesian Cultural Center's published luau recipes are similar to the recipes used for the Polynesian Cultural Center's Alii Luau Feast.

In Hawaiian, lomilomi means to massage, or in this case to break the salmon into small pieces, which are then mixed with tomatoes, onions, and other small condiments, giving it a delicious tangy taste that goes great with poi. This style of fish preparation, introduced to Hawaii by early western sailors, is a delightful surprise and a must-have item at any luau.
