Don't throw the marinade away. The oil will have absorbed the flavour of the herbs and spices, so it can be used for cooking.

Keeping: Several days, or even weeks in its marinade in the fridge.

Small bug with the "For..." converter, but the amount of salt is quite the same (and very approximative) you just need enough salt to totally cover the salmon fillet, so about 400g for a fillet of about 300g.
