This dish originates in the region of Navarra, in Northern Spain. The climate is cooler and wetter than central and Southern Spain. Small game, trout and salmon commonly appear on menus.

Green sauce, or salsa verde is a typical Spanish sauce and is usually served with fish. It owes its name and green color to the parsley that is the main ingredient, along with garlic, olive oil and white wine. Some green sauces contain green peas, asparagus, or green peppers as this recipe does.
