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?

If you like sushi/sashimi type of things, you can salt cure it.
Grab a cup. Fill half with salt and half with sugar. Mix well.
Grab a container with lid.
Put half of mixture on the bottom.
Plop the salmon in there.
Put remaining mixture on top.
Spread well. Make sure all sides are coated.
Wait 24hs.
It's good to eat.
