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.

Barbecued Roast Pork Tenderloin (Char Shui)

This is a very easy yet tasty way to prepare pork tenderloin, you can serve this hot or cold and any leftovers are great chopped up in a sandwich the next day with a little BBQ sauce. I served ours over vegetable fried rice for very flavoursome dinner. It is also a very low carb recipe so if you served it with just veg instead of rice it is about 6g carbohydrates per serving.
