How to Defrost a Frozen Salmon

Freezing salmon allows you to store it for up to four months. Defrost the salmon properly when you need to prepare it to ensure that it cooks evenly and to the appropriate temperature. Thawing the salmon in the refrigerator is the safest method, but if you need to thaw the salmon quickly, you can submerge it in cool water. After the salmon thaws completely, you need to cook it within two days to ensure that it remains fresh.
