Next, figure out how many calories you burn through daily activity and add that number to your BMR. This gives you an estimate of how many calories you need to maintain your current weight. After you've figured out your maintenance calories, next figure out what percentage of your diet will come from protein.
This is one of the fastest and easiest ways to put leftover salmon (or any fish, for that matter) to work â and it's also my favorite. Grab a few corn tortillas, chop up some toppings â avocado, red onion, pickled radish, mango, and cilantro all pair well here â and make some tacos for a quick dinner.
Remove the skin from the salmon, if you prefer to cook it skinless. Some people prefer to keep the skin on the fish when cooking and eating it. 1  Place the fillet on a cutting board with the skin side down. 2  Sprinkle one end of the salmon with salt to make the fish less slippery.
