Omega-3 rich pan-seared salmon fillets brushed with sweet chili lime glaze over nutty brown rice.

Meal-prepping salmon successfully comes down to cooking it gently so it reheats without a fishy odor. These tender salmon fillets are coated in a sweet chili lime glaze and paired with steamed edamame and brown rice.

👨‍🍳 Pro Meal Prep Tips for This Dish

  • Eat within 3 days: seafood has a shorter shelf life than chicken; plan to eat salmon Monday through Wednesday.
  • 50% power reheat: reheating salmon at half power prevents drying out and avoids strong office odors.
  • Skin removal: peel crispy skin off before packing if you dislike soft reheated fish skin.
