Notes
- Check Doneness: Salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done. Cooking times can vary based on the size of the pieces, so check for doneness to avoid overcooking.
- Refrigerate: Store the container in the refrigerator. Bang Bang Salmon Bites should be eaten within 2-3 days for the best taste and texture.
- Freeze (Optional): If you need to store them for a longer period, you can freeze the salmon bites. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment paper if needed. They can be frozen for up to 1 month.
