Saute the onions for 4 minutes or until tender. Stir in the garlic and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to saute for 4 minutes. Stir in the mustard and green onions.

Nice flavor. Don't cook too long or it will be dry. Loved the sweetness of the fish from the sugar. Nice change from just having it cooked in butter.
