      This looks delicious. Do you think this would work well as a meal prep recipe? I'm getting tired of the plain ole chicken but I'm not sure how long salmon would be good for stored in the fridge. Thanks!

        You can freeze this meal (once it's cooked) for up to 1 month. In my experience, if you keep the fish frozen for longer, you run the risk of getting the freezer burn.

          What is the best way to reheat if you froze this meal?

            My first choice would be reheating it in the oven - that way you can get back some crunchiness, and you can just put frozen meal right in the oven and let it reheat to the desired temperature. My second choice would be to let it thaw and then reheat it in the microwave, but then you lose the crunchiness.

      About how big were your salmon fillets? Going to make this tonight!

        They were average size salmon fillets - about 7 inches long but sliced pretty narrow as you see on the photos. Each of those salmon fillets was a moderate size (not overly large) portion for one person.

        You can, but they will need to be defrosted first.

      I made this tonight and LOVED it! If you don't have parchment paper you can totally use aluminum foil just the same. 10/10

      Made this for dinner today. It was a hit. Totally delicious! I have 2 children who are vegetarian so I used tofu for them and it was a thumbs up from my 16 year old daughter. Didn't have parchment paper so I used foil and everything stuck! Next time I will definitely use parchment paper. Anyway thanks for sharing this recipe :-)!

      Tried this recipe tonight and I LOVED it. I added a little bit of lemon juice to it because my husband won't eat it without it. It was so yummy and easy to make. Cant wait to have the left overs for lunch tomorrow!!

        You don't have to - I prefer to use parchment paper to minimize the clean up.

      Going to try this tonight but am wondering if you can tell me what internal temp the salmon should be when it's done

        Lauren, I did not measure the temperature. With salmon, I find, the most difficult thing is not to overcook it. So, as soon as the salmon starts flaking in the middle of the fillet (slice one of the fillets open in the middle to check), it's time to take the salmon out of the oven.

          For fish internal temp should be 145 F
