Honey Hoisin BBQ Salmon
This is fabulous salmon recipe that comes together so well from the marinade to the glaze. I love the taste of the ginger, garlic and cilantro (coriander) in the marinade. I made the same amount of marinade and glaze for 4 salmon fillets as mine were quite large. I served ours over egg noodles and fresh vegetables for a really lovely meal.

Ginger and Lemon Pork and Chicken
This is one the best tasting Ginger and Lemon Pork and Chicken I have tasted, this recipe could also be made with all chicken as you can read from other reviews by clicking here. The sauce is so good my only downer was I should have doubled as it is excellent and it would have been nice to have some extra to go with my egg fried rice I accompanied this with. I will be making this one often and it has gone down in my favourites.
