Trout With Hazelnuts, Lemon And Parsley Brown Butter

"I've never been much of a fish lover, but on a trip to New York, I ordered the hazelnut-crusted trout at Tribeca Grill," writes Corrie Reid of Stafford, Texas. "It was by far the best fish I've ever had, and the sauce served with it was just heavenly."
