Salmon is one of the most famous types of fish that plays an important role in the seafood world. Its taste and nutritional qualities are priceless, making salmon an expensive and highly favored product in a number of recipes.
The most essential question that arises after cooking not only salmon but any kind of fish is how to store the fish. If you have prepared your salmon but are wondering how to store it in the fridge and how long it will be good for consumption, here are some tips:
- To preserve the juiciness of your salmon in the fridge, it is advisable to put it in a bowl full of ice immediately before putting it in the fridge;
- The juiciness of the salmon can also be preserved with the help of apple or lemon vinegar. If you use lemon, just drizzle it before putting it in the refrigerator and if you use vinegar, you should use it to moisten a towel, in which you can wrap the fish;
- Be sure to cover the salmon before putting it in the refrigerator - for this purpose use a towel or foil;
- Do not store the salmon near other ready-made food, because this way the fish will absorb the smell.
If the storage temperatures are between 0 and 2°C, then the salmon will be edible for a period of 7 to 10 days. If the fish is vacuum-sealed, then it can be stored for up to 45 days at temperatures from -4 to -7°C and up to 30 days at temperatures from 0 to +6°C.
And if you have well preserved salmon, you can use it in recipes for:
- grilled salmon;
- baked salmon;
