Recipes with abalone and parsley
These have the ingredient list only, without the method. Where we have the original source, the recipe page links to it.
The count of 2 includes every recipe our index matched to both foods, some through an alternative or a related ingredient. This list is shorter because it shows only recipes whose ingredient lines name both. Open a few to see how they are used.
Can you swap one for the other?
No. Abalone and parsley are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common
Almost everything abalone carries, parsley has too: 179 of abalone's 181 flavor molecules also occur in parsley. Among the shared key aromas are coumarin (sweet, hay) and 2-methylbutyraldehyde (malty, chocolate). Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
