Recipe Notes
Honey Garlic Salmon Meal Prep Storage Instructions
Store the honey garlic salmon in airtight containers and place them in the fridge for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

To reheat, the most efficient way is to place them in the microwave in bursts until hot throughout. This will ensure the salmon isn’t overcooked and the rice doesn’t fry out. Any other method of reheating can ruin the dish.

Hi Jack, I have made a few of you recipes and the are always amazing. I watch a lot of different chefs to get ideas, you are one I watch on a daily basis. Great recipe as always
Hey Roderick, thank you so much for that. I really appreciate it and glad you’re enjoying the recipes.
Love the recipe, however, in the video the total calories per portion is 636 and on your website it is 832 total calories; which one is correct?
Thank you! Ill get that fixed. The correct macros are the ones in the video.
Hi Jack, This recipe looks delicious! can I make this recipe with another type of fish? Say barramundi or rockling? Unfortunately my husband doesn’t like salmon.
Hi Maria. You can use a different type of fish for this; the sauce is universal. Thank you.
Hi Jack, thanks for sharing this recipe. I tried it out and it was quite good.
There’s probably an error with your calculations. Based on the exact recipe ingredients, I calculated a total of 4620 kcal (data from MyFitnessPal). Divided by 5 that equals to 924 kcal per portion, not 630 as stated.
My guess is because the recipe above uses 1,25kg of salmon instead of 1kg, and the oils & butter were not calculated into the overall recipe.
Hi Romano, I’ll do a double check on the recipe calculations. Everything is ran through my software and no ingredient is left out. Thanks for the heads up. If it needs changing I’ll get it done.
