Finding the Key Ingredients

To make apple cider glazed salmon, you need just three ingredients, all of which are pretty readily available. Here is where to find each one:

Salmon

• How to Get: Fish up from fishing spots
• Locations: Frosted Heights, Sunlit Plateau

Salmon can be fished from the various fishing spots located around the Sunlit Plateau and Frosted Heights biomes. I recommend stocking up on at least 2-3 salmon so you can make this recipe multiple times.

Apple

• How to Get: Forage from trees
• Locations: Plaza, Peaceful Meadow

Apples can be foraged from the many apple trees found throughout Dreamlight Valley’s Plaza and Peaceful Meadow areas. You’ll spot them growing on trees – simply approach a tree and forage to add some fresh apples to your basket.

Sugarcane

• How to Get: Purchase from Goofy’s Stall
• Locations: Dazzle Beach

Head over to Goofy’s Stall at Dazzle Beach to purchase sugarcane, one of the many ingredients sold there. It should be stocked every day.

With salmon, apples, and sugarcane in hand, it’s time to start cooking!

• Don’t overcook – salmon is best medium rare.

• Add lemon slices or herbs to the pot for extra moisture and flavor.
