Notes

Storage & Make Ahead

Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat gently at 300° F or in the microwave in short intervals until warmed through.

To freeze, wrap cooled salmon tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Make ahead tip, stir together the honey butter sesame glaze up to 3 days in advance and store in the refrigerator. Let it soften slightly before spreading.
