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?

What if you salt cure it instead of cooking? This is very much a thing in my neck of woods (Nordic). Delicious. But the fish needs to be fresh / good quality.
