INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the fish: Gently rinse and clean 12 oz salmon. Use a kitchen towel and pat it dry thoroughly.
Cure the fish: Place the salmon on a piece of plastic wrap. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp sugar on the salmon. Coat all sides evenly. Fold the plastic wrap over the salmon to cover and put it in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
Cut the fish: Once cured, rinse the salmon to remove the salt and sugar. Pat it dry with a paper towel. Place it on a cutting board and cut into small cubes. Put the salmon into a bowl and marinate with 2 tbsp lime juice for 5 minutes.
Mix the salad: In a large bowl, combine 1/4 tsp sugar, the rest of the ingredients (1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp sesame oil, 2 oz onion, 0.5 oz shallot, 1 oz cilantro, 0.2 oz scallions, 1 oz jalapeno, 7 oz tomatoes, 1.5 oz cashews), and the salmon along with lime juice. Mix gently.
Serve: Transfer the salmon to a serving platter. It will taste better when served chilled.
