MY NOTES
FAQ
Can I marinate honey mustard salmon overnight?
Absolutely! Marinating the salmon for an extended period allows the flavors to infuse deeply into the fish, resulting in a more pronounced and well-rounded taste. To marinate the salmon, simply coat it with the honey mustard mixture, place it in a sealed container or a zip-top bag, and refrigerate overnight. This allows the salmon to absorb the flavors while ensuring it stays fresh. Before cooking, make sure to remove the salmon from the marinade and pat it dry before proceeding with your preferred cooking method.
How to store baked honey mustard salmon leftoveres
Let the salmon cool down to room temperature after cooking. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for more than two hours to prevent bacterial growth. Place in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and store in the fridge. The salmon will stay fresh for up to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze for up to 3 months.
