Storage

Making Air Fryer White Fish with Spicy Mango Salsa for dinner? Make sure you store it properly in the refrigerator! You want to make sure your meal is as healthy as possible and storage can definitely impact that. Generally speaking, these kinds of recipes can last up to two days when stored in an airtight container or wrapped tightly enough with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. However, if you can feel confident that your storage method is good then you should be able to extend this beyond two days as long as you take extra precautionary steps like double wrapping. Cooked fish needs all the TLC it can get!
