Preparation

1. Pat the fish with paper towels and set aside in a dish.
2. Combine the mustard, lemon juice, garlic, cayenne, salt and crumbled bay leaves in a mixing bowl and blend. Pour this sauce over the fish steaks to coat thoroughly.
3. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and add the fish steaks. The fish may have to be cooked in two or more steps, depending on the size of the skillet. Cook about two-and-one-half minutes on one side and turn the steaks. Partly cover and cook about two-and-one-half minutes on the second side. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish pieces.
4. Garnish with dill and serve.
