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.

Thai Fish Balls With Chilli and Lime Mayonnaise
This is also one of the recipes I made for my Asian night, again this is an excellent recipe and the chili, lime, mayonnaise goes exceptionally well with these little gems. All the recipes I made that night were very easy to prepare and did not take long to make. The biggest time consumer was getting all the veg and herbs chopped ready to make each recipe. I chose to do that all first along with making all the dipping sauces to save myself time. I will admit though I had help this time from my hubby helping to crush garlic and to wash up all my messy dishes as I like to do that as I go along so that saved a lot of time for me.
