Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Only the salmon is suitable for freezing and only if it has not been frozen before. Cook as instructed and allow to cool completely. Then transfer to an airtight, freezer-safe container, seal and freeze for up to 1-3 months. To serve, defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight before reheating.
