Salmon - Freezing it

[Miss Inquiry]

I bought a huge Salmon fillet yesterday, skinless and boneless. I chopped it into 10 normal fillet size portions. I wrapped them individually in cling film and popped them into a few sandwich bags and popped them in the freezer.
I am a bit of a novice when it comes to freezing food, will they be OK to eat? How long can they live in the freezer before they need to be eaten? What is the best way to defrost them?
Thanks in advance!

I often freeze salmon fillets. Leave no more than 3 months in the freezer. To defrost either pop in the fridge the night before you wish to eat or, leave out at room temperature for approx 4 hrs or defrost by weight in the microwave if yours has that facility.

Thanks Ed, I will have to pop them in the fridge the day before I want to eat them, my cats will otherwise attack as soon as my back is turned, they seem to be able to get into everything apart from the fridge!

Since I live alone, I always buy the frozen salmon at the supermarket. They come in vacuum sealed plastic. If I had done what you did, I would probably add a layer of aluminum foil - but that might not be necessary.

I never thaw it before cooking, either in the oven or poached in the microwave. The leftovers are GREAT - you can just crumble them up and make them like you make a tuna salad with some mayo & olive oil - they make great wraps the next day or even on top of a green salad!
