Chicken can only carry dinner for so long before it starts to feel familiar. We switch to seafood when the routine needs a reset but the timing still has to behave. Quick cooking, bright flavor, and tender, flaky bites bring something lighter without adding extra work. These recipes shake up the weeknight rhythm without complicating it.
