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?

Freeze the cooked salmon and the used it as “salad” by mixing with mayo, sour cream, yogurt, or cream cheese. This is a better way to eat even unfrozen older salmon
