The hosts went ahead in the seventh minute when George North went over after being found out wide by Scott Williams, but Rhys Priestland couldn't convert from the touchline.
A try from Alex Cuthbert further extended their lead in the 20th minute, but again Priestland was unable to kick between the posts.
Two penalties from Nemani Nadolo cut the home side's advantage to four points as the Fijians grew into the game.
However, Campese Ma'afu was sin-binned for the visitors and Wales were immediately awarded a penalty try, with Priestland converting to give them a 17-6 lead at the break.
Fiji's hopes of getting back into the game took a blow 13 minutes into the second half, as Ma'afu was sent off for receiving a second yellow card for tugging at Bradley Davies in the lineout.
With three minutes left to play Nadolo stole a loose ball and raced over to score the visitors' first try of the match, but it proved to be too late for them to mount a comeback as Wales held on for the win.
