09 Oct Spinach Stuffed Salmon with Mango Sauce

My husband made this for me last night and it was unbelievable. Better then a restaurant I told him (and I really wasn’t lying J)

Its a wonderful mixture of flavours and I especially liked the use of the pineapple to layer and the mango sauce was heavenly, mmm, made me really think of summer when I ate this dish.
