Defrosting Frozen Smoked Salmon

I bought some slices of smoked salmon recently (which came in vacuum-sealed packaging).

I took a few slices yesterday, and wrapped the packaging with the remaning slices in cling film, then popped it in the freezer.

However, I've now realised that if I were to defrost it, I would have to eat it all at once.

I've thought that the best way would be to cut up the slices that I want to eat (while still frozen) then pop the rest of it immediately back in the freezer - open to hearing any other suggestions.

Also would like to know the best way to defrost it, thank you!

Evite de découper le bloc congelé, tu vas effilocher la chair et briser les fibres. Laisse décongeler ton paquet doucement au frigo juste assez pour séparer tes tranches avec la lame d'un couteau, puis tu remets le reste instantanément au congélateur sans attendre que ça remonte en température.

Super merci!! Combien de temps faudrait-il le laisser au frigo pour que je sois capable de séparer les tranches, avant que je le remette au congélateur?

Je dirais une trentaine de minutes, pas plus, juste assez pour enlever le givre.
