One of the most interesting combinations in Filipino cuisine is the Sinuglaw where the grilled flavor and fattiness of the pork offers a great contrast with the cool, sweet freshness of the raw marianted fish. I used salmon as a more healthful alternative and you can use other fatty fish to substitute. Pork is of course, another great alternative.

Ingredients (serves 2)

150 g malasugue or tuna, cut into small cubes
1 green mango, sliced into julienne
1 red onion, sliced thinly

  2. In another bowl, combine kinilaw ingredients and let fish marinade for 10 minutes.
