Notes
- How to prep ahead of time: You can cut the salmon and make the Panko bread topping the day before you cook this dish.
- How to store: You can keep leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- How to freeze: While you can freeze salmon for up to 4 to 6 months, it isn't recommended as the texture will change.
- How to reheat: The best way to warm salmon back up is in the oven. You can also use an air fryer or a microwave.
