Preparation

1. Cut the salmon into one-inch, or slightly smaller, cubes. Put the cubes in a mixing bowl and add the lime juice. Refrigerate for at least one and one-half hours.
2. Drain the salmon and return the cubes to the bowl. Add the coconut milk, salt, pepper, onions and garlic. Stir to blend.

• If you do not wish to use coconut milk, make a vinaigrette sauce with two and one-half tablespoons white-wine vinegar, eight tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour this over the fish cubes when drained and add the onions and garlic.
