Can you freeze Salmon (Cooked)?
Yes. Salmon (Cooked) keeps 3–6 months in the freezer when stored in airtight packaging.
Cool cooked salmon quickly, then freeze it in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in foil and a bag with the air pressed out. It holds its quality for 3–6 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and eat it cold in salads, or flake it into pasta and fishcakes; reheat only gently so it doesn't dry out.
