Fish in curried tomato sauce is moist, aromatic and incredibly light. Any type of white fish with thick flesh such as Cod, Red Snapper, Halibut, or my personal favorite, New Zealand Ling would all yield the same flavor and result. This recipe does not contain any coconut milk, half and half or whipping cream in the sauce, and yet it tastes just as rich. You can make this recipe ahead of time, refrigerate it and bake it just before your guests arrive. Remember to also chill your white wine.
