Unopened canned salmon can be stored in a cool, dry place like a pantry or cupboard at room temperature for several years, as indicated by the expiration date on the can. Once opened, transfer any unused salmon to an airtight container and refrigerate immediately. Consume the refrigerated salmon within 3-4 days for optimal quality and safety.
