Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and divide into large portions.
Boil the soy sauce, grape juice, rice vinegar, sugar, water, and ginger in a wide pan.
Place the fish in the sauce in a single layer.
Keep the lid half closed and cook the fish in the sauce for 10 minutes.
Spoon the sauce over the fish and cook for 4 more minutes, until glossy.
Serve nitsuke fish hot with scallions.
💡 Tip: Spoon the sauce over the fish instead of turning it; thin fillets cook this way without breaking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Build a clean dinner plate with plain rice, steamed broccoli, and scallions.
