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.
Ideally, you should leave your salmon in the refrigerator to thaw overnight; this method maintains the best quality, particularly in terms of texture. If you're in a hurry, put the salmon in an airtight resealable bag and immerse it in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes until it's thawed.
