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.
1 If you are thawing salmon that was frozen in a block of ice, run cold water over the fish until all the ice chunks are removed. 2  Then cover the fish in plastic wrap, place it in a pan and leave it in the refrigerator for 6 to 12 hours.. Put the bowl on a flat surface in the refrigerator, away from foods that will soak up the smell of the salmon. The refrigerator should be kept between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit (1.7 to 4.4 degrees Celsius), in order to inhibit the growth of micro organisms.
