Can You Store Braided Salmon?
Properly cooked salmon can last in the refrigerator for at least 3 to 4 days.     Â
If you want to store your cooked salmon for even longer, the best option is to freeze it – place the salmon in an airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag, or simply wrap it tightly in freezer wrap or heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Tips for Making the Best Braided Salmon
When covering the fish with marinade, make sure to turn it gently to ensure the entire fillet is completely covered.
For a stronger flavor, refrigerate the marinated fillet for 15 to 30 minutes, turning the fish after every 5 minutes.
Remember to slice the salmon into very thin strips to make it easier to braid and hold together. One-inch or half-inch slices are best.
You may also braid the entire fillet into a single big braid, but this will be more tedious to hold together. Also, individual braids look much better when served.
About five minutes before cooking, brush the fillet with any remaining marinade.
