Did you make the salmon or is that a bought product?

Ring around the rosie vibes going on with this plate. Maybe move the negative space to one side of the plate

I’m just going to say: no. This ‘circle’ thing is not working, especially with your protein being rectangular. If you have further questions I’m sure that my wife can help you with ideas of how to make these products look great, even if you are stuck with that color of plate.

Love the flavor combo. Looks amazing Chef!

I would order this without hesitation if I saw this on a menu, even before looking at anything else. Superb.

Why the feta if its a vegan entree?
rmgonzal on
I’ve never worked with that product but I feel like the protein needs either a hard sear or a char. Not sure if that’s feasible with that though. It has a very unusual appearance and it’s fucking up the flow of the plate. What do you think about cutting the protein into halves and placing them central to the plate, and having the puree create a whole ring around the rest of it? I feel the void space in the center fucks up the vibe because the shape and size of the protein is so at odds with the left half of the dish. Your plating is very symmetric on the left hand side but the protein being that shape and size draws the attention away from that, and makes it appear asymmetric.
Also purely out of curiosity why use non-vegan ingredients on a vegan protein dish?

I like the plating overall. The salmon on the otherhand looks weird. It looks like it was precooked in sauce.

How is salmon vegan, and if its vegan, how is it salmon?

What do you think of the Juicy Marbles stuff? Are they worth checking out? I run a vegan spot and as much as I dont really eat faux meat products, people do enjoy (some) of them.
Edit: I know this isn’t the space to look for culinary discussion… except when it is… but I feel OP and I are both being downvoted just because a bunch of… ima say “cischefs” just to trigger the type that downvote vegan food. Its fine to dislike faux meat, but I sincerely doubt many of the people downvoting this are seeing beyond the “OMG vegan is is fake food!” (or emasculating in some way).

I find it too monochrome. I’d find a way to incorporate something green. Perhaps a spinach puree connecting the elements. Consider a fresh herb garnish on the salmon.

It looks like all the components are afraid of each other. Attention is naturally drawn to the center of the plate… so put something with visual appeal there. Also the colors are rough. There’s not enough green to offset all the pinks and browns.

It’s all pink and red. The negative space in the middle looks strange. A simple arugula salad with a lemon vinaigrette could brighten everything up. The vegan “salmon” is moot point when feta is on the plate. If you are trying to appeal to vegetarians, actual ratatouille would serve you better than degrading it into a “sauce”. How is your squash seasoned? The medallion concept is nice, just curious of the flavor profile.

It reminds me of a crab almost 🦀 interesting

Tip. The main (fish) should bisect the “circle” here. Think Q

It’s funny the extend vegans will go to not eat meat only to call their substitute a meat related name.

Just to be clear: Everything on the plate is vegan! Including the feta cheese 👌🏽

As a professional chef, I’m not surprised to read these negative comments about the plant based salmon and plating. Plating a dish like any art is down to personal interpretation, unless your name is Jesus Christ what chef is actually able to make salmon from thin air 🤷 for those REAL chefs on this platform not being able to work with plant based ingredients in 2025 just shows how DATED you are as a chef with a serious closed mind. Vegan food hauls in a market global total revenue of $43.20 billion with a projections reaching $103.00 billion by 2032.

“Ras el handout” gave me a good chuckle 😂

Gonna give me some of that ras el handout?

Throw out the goop slop thing thats being inappropriately labeled as salmon and you’re part way to something nice, if you also cut the number of elements down and celebrate an actual vegetable and not goop slop.
