🚫 No! Fresh salmon should never be left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature. Always store it in the fridge or freezer.
Look for these signs of spoilage:
✔ Strong fishy odor (fresh salmon should smell like the ocean).
✔ Slimy texture (indicates bacterial growth).
✔ Dull or discolored flesh (fresh salmon should have a vibrant color).
If you notice any of these signs, discard the salmon immediately.
✔ Yes, but only if the salmon has been thawed in the refrigerator.
✔ If thawed at room temperature, do not refreeze—this increases the risk of bacterial growth.
✔ Refrigerator Method (Best Option): Place frozen salmon in the fridge and thaw for 12-24 hours.
✔ Cold Water Method: Submerge the sealed salmon in cold water for 30-45 minutes.
🚫 Avoid microwave thawing, as it can partially cook the fish and ruin texture.
✔ Refrigerate for short-term use – Wrap tightly and consume within 1-2 days.
✔ Freeze for long-term storage – Use airtight wrapping and store at 0°F (-18°C).
✔ Vacuum seal for maximum freshness – Prevents freezer burn and extends shelf life.
