Lent-Friendly Cooking Tips💡

  • Don’t overcook! Fish is ready when it flakes easily—pull it early and let it rest.
  • Citrus is your best friend. Lime and lemon instantly brighten seafood and boost flavor.
  • Season generously. Seafood loves bold spices—don’t be shy with chile, garlic, or herbs.
  • Mix up the textures. Pair crispy fish with fresh slaws, salsas, or creamy sauces for balance.
  • Prep ahead. Marinades, salsas, and sauces can be made earlier to keep dinner easy.
