This is a great way to use up salmon fillets that are languishing at the bottom of your freezer and it’s also quick enough to make during the week with minimal stress.

London Restaurant Review – Sushi Samba
There’s a famous film called The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, which stars Clint Eastwood. This will give you an idea on how this restaurant review is going to go, and no, it doesn’t mean I’m going to announce that I’m becoming the Mayor of Carmel (you better get that reference or I swear to God…), but I am going to be a bit blunt about Sushi Samba…
