If you'd rather avoid the crowds and prepare seafood at home, consider a quick and easy stir fry.
Simple and satisfying, this colorful rice dish stars salmon, a heart-healthy fish you don’t often find at church fish fires. It includes lots of fresh, crunchy veggies to make it more healthful.
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.
Don’t worry about using day-old rice. It actually crisps up better than freshly made rice because the dry grains remain separate and absorb more seasoning. I made the dish with brown rice since it’s more nutritious, and removed the skin from the fish.
