Step 1. Collect Shellfish

In the beach scene, tap and swipe the sand to uncover and collect all the hidden shellfish (clams/scallops).

💡 Tip: Look carefully for bumps in the sand. Some require swiping away sand before tapping.

Step 2. Prepare Salmon and Lemon

Place the salmon fillet on the cutting board and use the knife to cut it into two pieces. Place the lemons on the board and slice them.

💡 Tip: Follow the cutting guides accurately. Heart icons confirm correct cuts.

Step 3. Pan-Fry Salmon

Add broth/sauce base to the pan on the stove. Turn on the heat. Place the salmon pieces in the pan. Use tongs to flip the salmon when indicated by the timer/glow. Remove cooked salmon to a plate.

💡 Tip: Don't let the salmon overcook; flip and remove promptly when the heart icon appears after cooking.

Step 4. Chop Vegetables

On the cutting board, sequentially chop the red onions, green vegetable (fennel/zucchini), carrots, and spring onions. Place each into separate bowls.

💡 Tip: Quickly follow the cutting guides for each vegetable. Successful chops are confirmed with sound/visual cues.

Step 5. Start Minestrone

Add broth/base to the large pot. Add chopped spring onions and olives/rosemary. Add the collected shellfish and chopped vegetables (carrots, green veg). Cover with lid and let simmer (timer appears).

💡 Tip: Add ingredients in the correct order as shown.

Step 6. Cook Shellfish & Finish Soup

Add wine to the pot. Cover and simmer. Use the slotted spoon to temporarily remove the cooked shellfish. Add peas/other green veg. Add the cooked shellfish back. Add sliced lemons. Cover and simmer a final time.

💡 Tip: Follow the sequence precisely, paying attention to the timers after covering the pot.

Step 7. Plate the Dish

Ladle the finished minestrone soup onto the serving plate. Place one piece of the cooked salmon on top of the soup. Arrange the cooked broccoli florets beside the salmon. Garnish the salmon with a sprig of rosemary.

💡 Tip: Arrange the components neatly as shown in the final image for the best presentation.
