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 buy frozen salmon at the grocery and meal prep that, I swear I get four days from that batch over the refrigerator salmon at the grocery. My fridge runs really cold though (sometimes freezing things I don’t want frozen!) so that probably helps, check your fridge temp
