Really enjoyed - you can freeze and defrost, which is what I did, that made the marinate a little bit watery, so next time will not freeze first. Nice with boiled new potatoes.

Excellent value for money, about 1/2 the price of equivalent weight from Marks & Spencer. Norwegian Salmon from Poland. More than enough for two servings. Chilli marinate is quite strong but it works.
