  • Question
    I was defrosting salmon in the sink. It was wrapped in wax paper but not tightly. Water got inside. Is it still safe to eat if baked at 375 degrees?
    Community Answer
    Yes, the heat will kill any bacteria in the sink. Next time, disinfect your sink before use or put the fish into a large bowl to defrost it.

    If you defrost the salmon improperly, then there is a chance that you could get food poisoning, but most people do not die from food poisoning.
