FAQs
What can I substitute for grouper?
If you can’t find grouper, you can substitute it with any firm white fish such as cod, halibut, or sea bass.
Can I use dried parsley instead of fresh?
While fresh parsley is preferred for this recipe, you can use dried parsley if you don’t have fresh. However, the flavor won’t be as vibrant.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
You can cook the fish ahead of time and keep it warm in the oven, but it is best to make the sauce right before serving for optimal flavor.
