‍

Can I meal prep salmon?

Absolutely! I have listed a few meal prep tips below:

• You may not want to cook the salmon all the way the first time, as it can become dry and overcooked when reheating.
• If not baking until ready to serve, season the salmon according to recipe details and store in airtight containers until ready to bake. This helps the flavors to be better absorbed by the salmon too!

‍

How to store leftover salmon?

Refrigerate the salmon in shallow airtight containers or wrap tightly with heavy-duty aluminum or plastic wrap. When properly stored, cooked salmon will last 3-4 days in the fridge.

‍

‍

How to reheat leftover salmon?

Place the salmon uncovered on a rimmed baking sheet and heat up at 275F for 12-15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 130F. Reheating at a lower heat helps to keep the salmon tender and flaky.
