I say this with the best intentions: the dish is very wet, may need some crunch or at the very least plated in a shallow bowl for guests to enjoy your sauces.
Foams are a hit and miss in this sub – I want to like yours but the yellow looks the same color when you throw up everything in your body and now you can only spew bile and it’s frothy.

I’m sure it’s a tasty dish, but the plating here is just abjectly and utterly wrong.
Let’s start with the plate itself. Would something smaller and deeper allow for a more layered technique? Would less liquid and a darker background allow the color contrast to pop?
Placement wise everything here is off. The salmon is just strewn about off center. Fine. You don’t have to love straight lines down the center of the dish, but place it with some level of care. Should you try going for a curve approach to mimic the curve of the plate? Would layering it diagonally allow for separation of elements of the plate that could be visually striking? Would changing the cut of the salmon enhance the dish?
The apple and the fennel look like they were absentmindedly dropped at the end. Is there a way to incorporate each flavor into a composed bite on the dish? If that isn’t the intention, could you arrange the pieces into a thoughtful and pleasing array?
As for the foam. To be frank. It’s hideous. It looks like it’s already dissolving. Find a way to isolate it from the liquid and place it with intention.
I’d take this back to the drawing board, but super stoked to see what the next iteration is.

Is this even “plated“? It looks like a bowl of broth that needs to have the scum skimmed off. With all due respect.

Looks wet and disgusting. Big pieces of raw salmon in a mixture of foams and imposter …ceviche? I don’t know what this is and not sure what it is trying to be. The foam looks awful and should be eliminated in favor of literally anything else.

This looks like the aftermath of Crohn’s disease.

Man, moat of you guys are way too harsh. Sure its a little bit wet, and might have looked better in a deeper bowl. However so many of you are calling this puke etc etc. Like get over yourselves. Most of you couldnt put together anything that looks better than this anyway. If you are not going to be constructive, then shut up and move on.

It just looks like raw fish sitting in a pool of nondescript liquid. When you plate something, ask yourself, what is this dish trying to highlight? When you look at it, are you immediately able to clearly recognize all of its primary elements? The primary element here should be the fish, but it’s covered in a bunch of random stuff so attention is being drawn away.
The dish itself is confusing too. There’s just too many flavors going on and they don’t go with each other. Don’t feel like you need to overcomplicate things to make good food. Less is more, let ingredients speak for themselves.
