Cool Completely: Allow the salmon to come to room temperature before storing. This prevents excess moisture from forming, which can make the fish soggy.
Airtight Container: Place the leftover salmon in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
Refrigeration: Store the salmon in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best flavor and texture. Consuming fish within this timeframe ensures freshness.
Reheating: For best results, reheat the salmon in the air fryer at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 3-4 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it can make the salmon dry out or become overly fishy in smell.
Freezing: While it's best to consume cooked salmon promptly, you can freeze leftovers for up to a month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as directed above.
Note: Repeated reheating can dry out the salmon, so it's recommended to only reheat the portion you intend to consume.
