Steps:

• Combine the first 10 ingredients in a pie plate or some other deep platter; stir well to blend.
• Add the fish steaks to the marinade; turn over to coat.

• Turn steak over and grill or broil for about 5 minutes.
• Check for doneness, insert the tip of a knife into the thickest part of the steak--fish is done when it changes color from translucent to opaque.

Steps:

• Rub softened butter over bottom of roasting pan and sprinkle with 12 bay leaves, 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, and 1 tablespoon sea salt.
• Rinse fish and pat dry, then arrange diagonally in roasting pan. If fish is more than 18 inches long, tail will curl up side of pan (wrap tail in foil to prevent burning).

(Some nuts may spill out.) Sprinkle fish with remaining 8 bay leaves, 2 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds, and 2 teaspoons sea salt. Dot fish with remaining 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces.
• Put oven rack in middle position and place fish in cold oven. Set oven temperature to 500°F. Roast until fish is just cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. (Cut into fish along backbone with a small knife to check doneness; fish should have turned from translucent to opaque.)
• Transfer fish to a large platter using 2 wide metal spatulas. Reserve any pan juices.
• Boil all sauce ingredients in a small nonreactive saucepan 1 minute. Stir in reserved pan juices and pour sauce over fish. Discard bay leaves.
