Always open to feedback! It’s fall in the PNW so lighting is bad and I was too lazy to get my actual camera out, so sorry for poor picture quality. I know the fish is over, and I’m ready to take heat for it =(. I was trying to make a nice medley of roast fall veg, and trying to practice lower waste so I used the romanesco stems and pearl onions to make a puree / soubise-ish sauce. Garnish is mint, perilla, and oxalis from my garden with some surprise radish flowers.

Love the idea but I can’t stop seeing a Kraft single.

veg: Go away, don’t touch me. Cod: I’m not touching you. You’re touching me
Seriously tho, I’ d eat those veg and I don’t like veg. Nice work

Looks great but could use a better sear/browning on the cod

I’d eat all of it.
Looks like a cloud raining on a garden in a good way, though you could make jokes about it being yellow rain and a post-apocalyptic garden with that beautiful char.
Could also be viewed as a mushroom cloud, tree, or a toque.
The color of the veggies and sauce contrasts nicely with the color of the fish. The plating is asymmetrical in several ways: 1) the negative space of the fish against the dark colors of the sauce and veg, 2) the size of the veg vs the fish, 3) the perceivable solidity the fish has vs the lighter fare offset from it.
The asymmetry can affect the visual balance and challenge the aesthetics, but at the same time, it brings gravity and contrast in interesting ways. The only thing I’d say throws that off is the curving of the outside of the veg that looks as if it’s leaning into the fish. If it was instead more of a parallel shape to the fish, or even arcing away, I think it would improve the visual distribution a bit.
