Heavenly Match Divine dish for date night or more There’s so much to love about fried ravioli. (Fun fact it was one of the recipes I submitted to “Guys Grocery Games” when I got picked to compete, so it holds a special place in my heart.) It’s the combo of fried and creamy that makes everything right about this dish, on top of it being so flexible, from transforming as an appetizer to switching up proteins. Don’t like salmon? What about crabmeat? Wouldn’t that be divine? And don’t forget about how swiftly it comes together with such a big “I’ve cooked all day” flavor. Once you try this, it’ll change your thoughts about having date nights at home, especially when it’s paired with a good wine or glass of bubbles. We all know Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I believe this meal could tug on anyone’s heart strings. Trust me you’ll surprise yourself once you taste it.

Remove the skin from the salmon before serving and break it apart into bite sized pieces to show the flaking of the fish.

Prepping all of the raviolis at once and setting aside on a plate makes the process easier for frying.

3 Substitute the smoked salmon for chicken, shrimp or even crawfish. You can also use any protein you’d like. Change it up!
