Storage and Reheating Tips

Store the salmon, shrimp, broccoli, and corn separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat the seafood gently in a covered skillet over low heat or in the microwave at reduced power to prevent overcooking.

Broccoli and corn can be reheated in the microwave or steamed briefly until warmed through.

Avoid freezing cooked shrimp, as the texture can become rubbery after thawing.

Fresh lemon should be added just before serving for the brightest flavor.

For the best taste and texture, enjoy leftovers within 2–3 days.
