Storage and Reheating Tips

Store salmon, greens, plantains, and chimichurri sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat the salmon gently in a 325°F (165°C) oven for 8–10 minutes or until warmed through.

Plantains can be reheated in a skillet for the best texture.

Store avocado separately and slice fresh before serving.

Chimichurri sauce can be refrigerated for up to 5 days and is best added after reheating the salmon.
