   Just a Note:I tried this recipe with cilantro instead of flatleaf parsley and found only minor differences. With the flatleaf parsley, I found that the sauce was mild and acted as a flavor enhancer to the fish (grouper). With the cilantro, I noticed it brought out a bright and robust flavor to the sauce and tasted quite nicely in contrast to the mild grouper. Either way, I found it very tasty!
