So here’s the takeaway: Trust the clock, not your nose. Your nose is a drama queen. The clock is your boring, reliable friend. If the salmon sat out longer than two hours, it’s a no-go.
Will you be fine if you eat it? Maybe. But maybe you won’t. Do you really want to play salmon roulette? I didn’t think so. Order a pizza. Give the salmon a proper burial.
And next time? Eat it all or chill it fast. Your stomach will thank you. And you’ll have one less weird, smelly experiment to explain to your friends.
