Oven at low temp.
Reheated salmon often develops a strong fishy smell (especially in the microwave — your colleagues will not thank you). Low oven temp minimises this. Honestly, leftover salmon is better cold in a salad or on toast.
Oven at low temp
135°C (275°F) for 10-12 min
1-2 min on low power (30-40% — NOT full power)
8-10 min over indirect heat
| Storage Method | Duration |
|---|---|
| Fridge (sealed container) | 2-3 days |
| Freezer (airtight or vacuum sealed) | 2 months |
Get precise cooking times for any meat, cut, and method. Never over-cook or under-cook your BBQ again.

Can you reheat BBQ salmon in the microwave?
