Salmon storage...

I live my life on the go, who doesn't these days, and I LOVE salmon for dinner.  I do not have time to cook it every night.  Can a large salmon filet be baked and then frozen for quick prep at dinner time??  Does anyone know?  I do this with chicken breasts for use with my lunch salad and it works really well.  Any suggestions?

absolutely!  just don't overcook it.  i would be inclined to undercook it just a little if you'll be thawing it in the microwave.

I eat salmon and I live quick food.

In less than 15 minutes (about!) I get a beautifully done fresh fillet by this method:

Place salmon in a high sided baking tray

Cover salmon in water, add 3 tablespoons of white wine vinegar and 3 of lemon juice (or add to taste)

Cover top of tray in tin foil and place it on the hob-leave until its boiling

Once boiled, allow to cool a bit with the tin foil stll on

Remove once cooled and serve! I add a sprinkling of pepper on top and sometimes a light mayo! YUM!!! Its fresh, light and TASTY!!

I cut it up raw and freeze it because I use the microwave to cook it.  I can pop them in the fridge and next day theyre ready plus cooked pseudo fresh.

Totally. I agree you should not over cook it so it does'nt become rubbery when you re heat. I found using the ziplock vaccum seal bags work awsome for freshness, and you can freeze much longer than regular ziplocks.
