Let’s say you crave Japanese food but can’t go out due to a tight budget. Not only will this recipe satisfy the urge, but it also won’t break the bank! You can purchase a large cod filet at your local grocery for about five bucks. And, it will normally be enough for two portions. For an extra kick, we like to add some wasabi on the side.
