Leftover Fish and Salmon Recipes
Cooked fish is delicate, so the best second meals use it cold or warm it only briefly. Here's what to do with leftover salmon, tuna and white fish.
Cooked fish dries out fast, so flake it and use it cold or add it at the very end. Leftover salmon suits rice balls and open sandwiches, tuna goes into pasta salad, and white fish scrambles with eggs and potato. Eat cooked fish within 2 days.
