Steps:
- Sprinkle fish on both sides with salt and pepper, then with 1 teaspoon garam masala, dividing equally. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add fish and cook until opaque in center, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer fish to platter (do not clean skillet).
- Add tomatoes with juices, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and remaining 2 teaspoons garam masala to same skillet. Simmer over medium-low heat until slightly thickened, scraping up any browned bits, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over fish. Top with yogurt and sprinkle with cilantro.
Tips:
- For the freshest flavor, use wild-caught orange roughy fillets.
- If you can't find orange roughy, you can substitute another mild-flavored white fish, such as cod, haddock, or tilapia.
- Be careful not to overcook the fish. Orange roughy is a delicate fish and will cook quickly. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
- Serve the fish immediately with tartar sauce. Tartar sauce is a classic condiment for fried fish and adds a delicious tangy flavor.
- If you don't have time to make tartar sauce, you can use a store-bought brand. Just be sure to choose a tartar sauce that is made with real mayonnaise and not a salad dressing.
