How to make Lemon Pepper Fish Filet

[Dracon]

I have all the ingredients, for the fish, but there are only 4 ingredient spots in the skillet , while the recipe needs five. I do assume that there is some kind of trick to making it work.

Has anyone figured it out yet?


Edit:
Ok for anyone else who was wondering: You need to unlock the lv 4 Cooking Perk, otherwise you'll be missing the 5th slot necessary to make the dish.

Check if you have the spatula, this is need it too.

you need two skillets, cast iron and steel. Plant lemon tree.

Can someone please explain this step by step? Even if I have both a Cast iron and a steel skillet I can't seem to make the dish.

Step 1: Take a deep breath and be happy for however programmed this. He or She clearly loved cooking. 😉
Step 2 : Have a Knife, a steel pan, an iron pan and a spatula (You get that at the smith-shop)
Step 3: Have a (small!) cut inboard. You can get that at the woodwork-shop. The blueprint is added to your drone as soon as you buy it.
Step 4: Get the camping-grill from the appliance-shop in the big city.
Step: 5: Catch one of the edible Fishes.
Step 6: Grow a lemon three (yes seriously)
Step: 7: Check the grocery shop every day until you see “black pepper” or grow it as a crop from sunny-seed. Buy any kind of oil while you are there.
Step: 8: Place the camping-grill and the cutting board with your drone.
Step 9: Place the Knife on the cutting board THEN the fish. Press the acorn-symbol to cut filets.
Step 10: Place 2 Peppercorns, 2 Lemons, 1 fish filet and the oil in one of the pans, while having the spatula in your inventory.
Step: 11: Press the grey square in the middle and hope for the best. Then turn the wheel on the actual oven to turn it on.

Before anyone else is experiencing what I did with this recipe, because it's 100% counter intuitive given that it is the first recipe you get:

You need to have the level 4 cooking upgrade, otherwise you won't be able to make it, as you'll be missing the 5th slot necessary.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help.

I dont know if it helps, but if you follow the path to the left, right after the bridge you find "Nara-Cafe". Irs not marked as a shop, but you can buy more recepies there. Maybe there is something less insane to level-up with.

For reasons unknown to most the game over designs the cooking system and let's be blunt, that's far too many steps outside a cooking game.

Btw: have fun grinding up cooking. It'll take time

Edit: I do agree. The person who designed this *loves* cooking. And I'll be also honest. If I wanted to learn how to do it in real life, that's pretty close to what you'd need.

It's just..

[Jewel the Espeon]

I honestly don’t think the complexity itself is the problem. The game is just very bad about teaching you stuff. Once the wiki is filled out or the devs work on more detailed tutorials it could be really fun.

[Stardust Memories]

I do, because at the point of granularity here I'd rather just cook it in real life or something so I can enjoy the meal.

Thanks for the tip about needing to progress the skill tree to unlock another slot for that recipe. I don't understand why they give this recipe as one of your first ones if you can't even make it, though.

I haven't done much cooking because I find it tedious and not very intuitive. For instance, I bought a grill to see what could be made on it and put in charcoal, and then gas when charcoal didn't do anything, and it still didn't work - and I lost all the charcoal and oil since it took it all pieces instead of 1 unit and there doesn't appear to be a way to get them back. Gave up on the grill for now.

Cooking is need it to advance the tree skills. I hope in the future there is a cooking festival :)
