Yes, it is generally safe to recook undercooked grilled salmon, as long as it has been stored properly and is not left at room temperature for an extended period.

What does undercooked chicken look like and how can you tell if it is not safe to eat?

Undercooked chicken may appear pink or have a soft, rubbery texture. To tell if it is not safe to eat, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer - it should reach at least 165F (74C). Additionally, if the chicken is slimy, has a foul odor, or is discolored, it is best to discard it to avoid foodborne illness.


Should you recook undercooked chicken?

You should NOT "recook" any meat that was first undercooked. People may not like this answer, since meat does cost money. But there are very good reasons to throw out undercooked meat and refuse to eat it. Meats require certain temperatures to kill bacteria and parasites (worms and worm eggs), which ALL meat contains. They also need the high cooking temperature combined with cooking or baking time to adequately kill bacteria or parasites. So as an example (using made up numbers), if you should cook something at 250 degrees F for at least 30 minutes, but the inside of the meat never gets above 200 degrees F and you only cooked it for 15 minutes, you cannot guarantee you killed the bacteria, worms, or worm eggs.Even worse on the issue of undercooked meat, bacteria's main job is to survive and multiply---period (same with worms). In the process of multiplying, bacteria make their own wastes in the form of proteins (which can make humans sick). As soon as food is (a) taken away from heat, for cooked foods or (b) removed from cold if food must be kept cold, bacteria immediately begin or resume their main job. Meat removed from heat immediately begins to cool. Bacteria begin to multiply. By the time you decide it is not cooked "enough", you are starting to "recook" a piece of meat that is more laden with 'new' bacteria cells. Therefore, it is never safe to recook previously undercooked meat, unless you want food poisoning.Food poisoning affects the digestive system. You can have nausea and vomiting (proteins from bacteria upset human stomachs), fluid shifts in the intestines leading to diarrhea, and fever because energy and heat are generated as your cells work to "fight" the bacteria. You can become so sick from those 3 symptoms that the body can become dehydrated, so you're less able to fight the infection. The bacteria still have a single goal: survive and multiply. So while you feel awful, the bacterial colony continues to grow, except now it's in your body rather than in the meat you should have thrown away. Children and elderly or anyone who already is ill or immune compromised can end up in the hospital from food poisoning.
