🧊 Safety & Storage

Refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Freeze portions for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator. Always serve at room temperature. Wash hands and surfaces thoroughly after handling raw salmon.

⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning

Do not substitute salmon with raw salmon due to parasite risk. Avoid replacing sweet potatoes with white potatoes (solanine toxicity risk). Never omit supplements as they are essential for nutritional completeness. Do not use garlic or onion as seasonings - both are toxic to dogs.
