How long does Codfish Salad keep?

Can I halve or double Codfish Salad?

Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
