Spain Dish #2: Fish in Salsa Verde

I was initially drawn to this dish because there aren't that many ingredients, at least ones hard to find. Wine is ridiculously cheap around here and now I know why. Spaniards love their wine but they also love to cook with it. With wine almost as cheap as bottled water, why not?

The best part of this experience was talking to the fish man at the supermarket. I had no idea what cod was in Spanish, so I just pointed to a white fish and he smiled at me. He looked at my blond hair as if he understood and acted the rest of the fish related questions
out (my fish/supermarket vocabulary isn't quite up to par).I really enjoyed this recipe, although I am not sure why it is called salsa verde?!. If you try it out let me know!
