Salmon was vacuum sealed a couple months ago but smelled a little burnt and a small amount (1/8" deep x 2" long by 1/4" wide) discolored. I generously cut off the discolored bit but wondering if the rest will taste bad.

Edit: It turned out great! indistinguishable from un freezer burnt.

    Sure, though, it might be a good idea to make a more highly flavored meal like cheese crusted or maple glazed. My favorite form of salmon (baked and topped with a piccata like sauce) would probably be pretty underwhelming if the meats not in great shape.

    That all said a few months in the freezer probably wouldn’t sap out too much flavor, even if it was just in a zip lock bag.

      Thank you, good to have reassurance. I have it in a miso honey garlic marinade right now which I think will help. Another possibility which I often use for the tail end bits is a panang curry.
