It’s Lent. Which means many are going to be eating a lot of fish, thanks to Friday night fish fries.
If you’d rather avoid the crowds and prepare seafood at home, consider a quick and easy stir fry.

One reason this dish works so well, besides being dairy- and gluten-free, is because it’s customizable: If you don’t like salmon, substitute 1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp. The same with the veggies — use whatever’s languishing in your crisper — and garlic, which some (me) can’t get enough of and others steer clear of to avoid heartburn and bad breath….
