Madara no nitsuke – Simmered cod in sweet soy sauce

For my English husband, if we have cod, he might say we should have ‘fish and chips’ but my choice would be nitsuke. I like fish and chips but I must say this is a much healthier option. This recipe is so easy to cook and this dish goes really well with plain rice. If you are looking for a simple Japanese dish for dinner, this is the perfect recipe.
