Can I eat cooked salmon after 5 days in the fridge?

No, it’s not recommended. After 5 days, bacterial growth is likely even if it looks fine.

Can I freeze salmon after it has been in the fridge for 3 days?

Yes, but it’s best to freeze it earlier for better quality.

No more than 2 hours, or 1 hour if the temperature is above 90°F (32°C).

Portion, store in an airtight, refrigerate. Freeze if you won’t eat within 3 days.
