1. Heat a pot over medium high heat. Add oil, onions, and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and curry powder. Continue to cook until onions are soft and translucent.
2. Add fresh tomatoes and cook down for 3 minutes. Next add canned tomatoes, dried lime, and tamarind. Continue to cook until it is thick and tomato sauce consistency. Remove dried lime when finished.
3. Season the branzino with salt and place on an ovenproof pan. Pour sauce over the top of the fish and broil on low. The sauce should start to dry out and concentrate over the fish. Cook until the fish is 145°F
