Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to prevent the salmon and shrimp from drying out.

You can also microwave individual portions in short intervals until heated through.

Avoid freezing the creamy sauce, as it may separate after thawing.

Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
