Storage, freezing & reheating
In the refrigerator
Divide leftovers into shallow containers and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour if above 90°F / 32°C). Keep at 40°F / 4°C or colder and use within 3–4 days.
In the freezer
Freeze cooked salmon separately from beans for up to 1 month for best quality. Thaw in the refrigerator; the fish may be drier after reheating.
To reheat
Reheat a single portion in the microwave, loosely covered, stirring or turning halfway through. Heat to 165°F / 74°C throughout; add a spoonful of water if needed.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use frozen salmon?
Thaw it safely in the refrigerator first so the fish and beans cook within the same time frame.
