For the best flavor, use high-quality European-style butter. Its higher fat content will result in a richer, nuttier browned butter. Watch the trout carefully under the broiler, as it can cook very quickly. The flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. Don't discard the browned butter solids! They add a depth of flavor to the sauce. Feel free to substitute other fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, or tarragon, for the parsley. Serve with a simple side of roasted asparagus or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
