Loot on the table:

• 1 whole gilt-head bream fillet (or any white fish if you missed the legendary drop)
• 1 cup bulgur
• 1 pinch saffron (or turmeric if you’re on a budget run)
• 1 small head broccoli
• 1 lemon (sliced, extra XP)
• Fresh salad leaves (side quest: the more kinds, the bigger the buff)
• Salt, pepper, olive oil

For the tzatziki:

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cucumber
• 2 garlic cloves
• Salt, pepper, dill (if available)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation Phase:

1. Main Quest – Bream Fillet:
   • Season the fillet with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil.
   • Fry both sides in a hot pan until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes per side. You’ll get bonus XP for the crispy skin!
2. Side Quest – Saffron Bulgur:
   • Boil water (twice as much as bulgur). Add the saffron or turmeric.
   • Add the bulgur, salt it, and cook until it soaks up the water (about 12 minutes). Fluff with a fork.
   • You can toss in some roasted peppers or extra veggies from the loot pool.
3. Buff Position – Broccoli:
   • Break the broccoli into florets, blanch in boiling salted water for a few minutes (quick heal), then briefly sauté in olive oil.
4. Skill Upgrade – Tzatziki:
   • Grate the cucumber, salt it, wait 5 minutes, squeeze out the liquid.
   • Mix with yogurt, crushed garlic, pepper, olive oil, and chopped dill.
   • Before serving, decorate with a slice of tomato so it looks like a late-game healing potion.
5. Salad Leaves – Passive Bonus:
   • Pick fresh salad leaves from the garden or market and pile them on the edge of the plate.

Serving (Boss Fight):

• Heap the bulgur in the center of the plate – this is your safe zone.
• Place the fillet beside it, skill up with broccoli, and add tzatziki in a small ramekin or directly on the plate.
• Surround with salad leaves, top off with a lemon slice for the final look.
• For extra visual effects, garnish with fresh peppers or herbs.

Power-up and buff info for gamers:

• Omega-3 boost from the fish (brain, reflexes, focus – higher headshot rate!)
• Complex carbs from bulgur (lasting energy, less AFK feeling)
• Broccoli & salad: antioxidant and vitamin C shield (immune buff, fewer debuffs from sick teammates)
• Tzatziki: probiotic, digestive system pick-up (less laggy stomach)
• Saffron/turmeric: anti-inflammatory potion (less “fire damage” IRL)

Achievement unlocked: Real next-gen dinner – no more instant ramen, only pro-gamer food!

Tip: This recipe saves lives IRL too, not just virtually – especially if you’re prepping for a long LAN party or achievement grind!
