Honey Glazed Chicken Wings
A quick snack or a side dish, Honey Glazed Chicken Wings aren't hard to prepare. Just drop by the nearest supermarket and obtain a few packets of chicken wings (midwings, drumlets or both, the choice is yours). For this demonstration, I used 24 midwings. They were washed and were pierced 2 times with a fork for the marinade to be able to seep in. They were then placed in a ziplock bag.
Like all meats, the marinade is very important. First, get 4 limes, squeeze them dry and separate the skin from the fascia, I mean, the pulp. Once done, pour all of them into the ziplock bag.
After that, slice ginger and pound it. When the ginger has been pound, hold it in your hand and squeeze the ginger juice into a bowl. Pour the contents of the bowl into the ziplock bag as well.
You're almost done marinating! In a bowl, collect 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and oyster sauce each. A teaspoon of sugar and a tablespoon of sesame oil rounds up the condiments. Pour those into the ziplock bag as well, mix the contents well and seal it. Place the bag in the chiller for at least 8 hours or overnight (the longer, the better).

Grilled Salmon
One of the simplest recipes of all! Just obtain a salmon fillet from the nearest supermarket and remember to note down the net weight of the fillet.
Preparing the fillet is as easy as ABC. Just rub a pinch of salt(no, don't take this with a pinch of salt) on all the surfaces of the fillet. Drop about a 50cent coin size of sesame oil and coat the surface of the salmon. Put it on a grill.
After placing the grill with the salmon in the microwave, use your microwave's grill function to grill the salmon. Its weight should be about 300g. The microwave should grill it for about 14 minutes or so. Depending on your microwave, you might need to turn the salmon a few times.
Serving suggestions vary. You may serve the salmon with condiments like mayonnaise (right), sprinkle Italian herbs and black pepper on to the fish (left) or concoct your own gravy for it (try to imagine).
So there you have it, your nice, juicy and succulent Grilled Salmon - all done in below 20 minutes.
