Quest 18: Lunker Feast with Subrosia Salad

Fishing can be fun - especially when actually catching fish. Fishing is a celebrated part of many games in the Zelda series. As the games have progressed, they have added lures, types of fish, more sophisticated rods and even a boat. Did you just catch a real Lunker in Ocarina of Time or Link's Awakening? Not sure what to do with it? Well today, I'll show you how you can transform that Lunker into Dinner that will feed a crew.





Gear . . . 
a 1 1/2 to 2 pounds fillet of fish with the skin on - today we are using steel head trout but any delicious fish will do.
Spice Mix:
1 T. Course Salt
1 t.. Peppercorns, any color
1 t.Fennel Seed
1 t. Chili Powder
1 t. Parsley
1 t. Garlic Powder
1/4 c. Brown Sugar
Other:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Parchment paper
Sheet pan

 The Quest . . .
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Make sure the fish is boned out by running your fingers up and down the fillet. Pull any stragglers out with clean needle-nose pliers. Why are we keeping the the skin on? Good question. We do this because it helps the fish retain moisture in a dry cooking setting like baking.
Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Place the fish skin side down on a sheet pan that is covered in parchment paper.
Combine all the spices and mix together with a mortar and pestle. Drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Sprinkle the seasoning liberally onto the fish.






Bake for 20-25 minutes. Check for flaking with a fork or about 140 degrees F. internal temperature with a instant read thermometer, which every you feel most comfortable with.





Well that was pretty painless and easy. Now you're asking, what should we have with it?







Okay, I'll give you a bonus recipe for a side. It is, after all, supposed to be a feast, right?

 Subrosia is a lava world where the Subrosians dwell and consume lava. In Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, they put on quite a dance party in their land.  We are going to cool things down for these cute little hooded beings by making my take on Ambrosia Salad: Subrosia Salad. Enjoy!

 The Quest Continues . . .

 1/2 c. heavy whipping cream
1 T. sugar
1 T. cherry juice
A few drops of red food coloring
12 oz. cottage cheese, drained
4 oz. sour cream
8 oz. crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 c. grated coconut
1/2 c. walnuts, chopped
1/2 c. Maracchino cherries, halved
1/2 c. seedless red grapes, halved
1/2 c. blueberries
1 t. ginger root, finely grated
1 t. orange zest
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. cardamon

 Wow, what a list . . .
Strain your cottage cheese and crushed pineapple so that there is not excess moisture. There will be plenty of other moisture and we don't want it to get soupy.













In a bowl, add your cream and sugar and beat on high until stiff peaks form (not butter). If helps if your bowl and beaters have been refrigerated for at least 10 minutes. This will speed the process along.












This is what stiff peaks looks like.












Gently fold in sour cream. Add the red food coloring, cherry juice, ginger, orange zest, cinnamon and cardamon.







.
Add the rest of the fruit, cottage cheese, and walnuts

Mix together well. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.














Enjoy!
