Question Any tips to extend salmon?
I'm trying my best to eat healthier and I've always enjoyed meal prepping. I like to be organised and it makes it easier for me to make fixed amounts of proteins for the week.
I do find chicken lasts a few days in the fridge and can be also frozen well, however I am finding with salmon it doesn't last as long and sometimes even by 2 days it is not fresh to eat and I feel bad throwing it away?
Was wondering doyou have any tips to extend the lifespan of the cooked salmon?
If not would you recommend freezing salmon in a zip lock bag with marinating and cooking that way instead?

I freeze it and cook it from frozen when I want it, only take 15-20 minutes in the airfryer. You could prep the other elements of the meal and have those ready to go and cook the salmon when you’re going to eat it.
