Gather an apple and a fish, and let them rot by passing the time. The game will notify you that you've gathered the necessary ingredients once they become rotten.

How to Tell Time of Day

Apple Location

There are apples southeast of the Sacred Arbor which you can gather and let them rot in your inventory.

Fish Location

You can gather fishes near the shore in the Sacred Arbor. Be careful not to go off coast or else the Brine will get you!

Sara will give the dish to Brokkr, and you'll only have a limited time to gather as much scalecinder as you can in the cave.

You can either talk to Sara at the cave's entrance or wait until the time runs out, at which point Sara will inform you that your time is up. Submit the Scalecinder to Doireann to finish the quest.
