Method
Wash fish under running water and pat dry. Rub salt and curry into fish and set aside as you prepare the sauce.
Chop half of the onion, along with the cloves of garlic and sauté in vegetable oil.
Chop one of the tomatoes and add to the same pan, along with the parsley, tomato paste, vinegar, lemon juice, water, salt, curry, and cayenne pepper.
Stir until all the ingredients come together to form a rich sauce. Simmer for five minutes over low heat.
Smother fish with the tomato sauce. Slice and arrange the remaining tomatoes and onions on top of the fish.
Grill the fish in a grill basket for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
If you prefer, bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 375-degrees F. Broil for a few minutes before serving over rice.
