Pan seared tilapia, roasted garlic and lemon sauce, braised red quinoa, poached radishes, apple and shallot creme, mustard seared leeks, fennel

This is satire right?

You got a lot going on here mate. Try an simplify things.

people are not very kind to you on here and I think it’s really admirable that you continue to make these and post. I think it’s cool and I hope you’re having a fun time 🙂 there are a lot of other much kinder food subreddits

Not bad for an amateur; you’ve got all the basics right.

Base of starch for your protein; one or two accompanying sides to compliment said protein, and a sauce.

Now all you’ve got to do is polish it.

Condense things down. Are you going to eat all of this in one sitting? Even if it’s a yes, I’m sure it’s delicious, but you’ll be stuffed! No room for appetizers and dessert!

Use less quinoa for the base, offset. Lay the fish onto the quinoa (again, offset, like two angles).

You’ve got too many choices for sides. Keep it to one or two easily identifiable and complimentary to the dish. The seared leeks is an… odd choice, to be honest. Poached radishes, I think I can understand, but the choice of sides are honestly haphazard.

Arrange your sides perpendicular to the protein or bunched up against it.

You can dress your fish with the sauce; you don’t need a lot of it, a drizzle in a zig zag or a few lines around. You can always add more when you’re sitting down to eat, after all!

For the sauce, you could add a bit of color to it with a bit of turmeric or saffron. If not, some freshly chopped herbs would make it pop out visually; chives, chervil, or parsley for example.
