  1. This looks delicious, but super uneven and just altogether messy. The dimensionality doesn’t work either, I think. So perfect for the family table, but not really great plating.

    It’s pretty enough where if I made this at home and looked just like this I would be satisfied. If this was a restaurant I’d be fucking livid.

  3. I think it looks absolutely fabulous! Not too much for 2 people! Lol…it’s a lot! Beautiful presentation!

  4. Take it as constructive feedback, from one homecook to another

    1. Pile the skewers in one place and keep sauce separate

    2. Use coloring agents like smoked paprika for better color and flavours. Also use turmeric. Fennel seeds, long pepper, a bit of orange zest and salt, crushed in a food processor or a morter pastel or Indian/Mexican equivalent make a great addition

    3. Keep the oil temp super high and use avocado oil instead. Your salmon will have far better color and it’s fine for most people if a good fish like salmon is a bit rare

    Edit: if you really like an “asian” flavour, use toasted sesame seed oil with a brush after you have fried

    First instinct: Pretty! But also, Messy!

    Upon further investigation: What are the bits of red onion and pepper accomplishing? Additionally, what is the lemon on the skewer accomplishing?

    I’m not mad at this concept, having the skewer served in the sauce, but the sauce needs to be only on the bottom, not on the top, so you can see each component (and you need like half the amount). The dill is light enough to stick to the skewer, so it’s a good garnish – the red pepper and onion I can imagine being left on the bottom of the plate when they’re done; they should be bigger pieces and on the skewer itself. The lemon should be halved with the face of it done on the grill.

    I like where you’re going with it but a sear on that salmon would be nice. Sesame oil and hollandaise does sound weird but I’m not gonna knock it since I haven’t tried it. Peppers and onions being on the skewers would serve better. I’d go lighter and cleaner on the sauce plating. The colors are nice though.

    I realize that fish live in water but it looks like you’re are trying to drown that salmon in sauce

  8. Interesting, the composition of the dish and the colors look great, I hope the flavors match as well as it looks.

    I like the bits of pepper and onion and herb!
    Orange fish on orange sauce not so much though
