Can you freeze Salmon (Raw)?
Yes. Salmon (Raw) keeps 2–3 months in the freezer when stored in airtight packaging.
Freeze raw salmon as fresh as possible. Pat the fillets dry, wrap each tightly in plastic then foil or a freezer bag to guard against freezer burn, and use within 2–3 months — oily fish turns rancid faster than lean white fish. Thaw overnight in the fridge and cook it the same day; never thaw fish out on the counter.
