Can You Store 21 Day Fix Lemon Grilled Salmon?
To increase the quality and shelf-life of cooked salmon, always refrigerate it in airtight containers. You can also wrap it tightly inside plastic cling film or heavy-duty aluminum foil.
If carefully stored, cooked salmon can last for up to 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Tips for Making the Best 21 Day Fix Lemon Grilled Salmon
- Ensure the salmon remains moist while cooking; ensure the entire piece is fully covered in the lemon oil mixture.
- A cooking hack is to avoid flipping the salmon to prevent the ‘sticking panic.’ Instead, cook the salmon skin side down and grill for about 8 minutes per inch of thickness.
- Remember that the salmon will continue to cook for a while even after being taken off the grill, so better to serve it immediately before it becomes too dry.
