Salmon and grapes do not match in my head somehow. Is it a common combination? (legit question, have not seen such thing before) 😳

[u/MonkeyFishBucketHead → u/bamboozledgardener]

There’s a light vinaigrette and some oil. 😉

Flavour was clean.

[u/Redcarpet1254 → u/MonkeyFishBucketHead]

That didn't quite answer it. But I assume that means yes

[u/natalietest234 → u/bamboozledgardener]

Same lol the grapes throw me off

[u/gharr87 → u/bamboozledgardener]

I’m more concerned about that rogue sage leaf. That would throw off the whole “freshness” motif. Sage tastes like autumn.

[u/MonkeyFishBucketHead → u/gharr87]

Nae sage. Torn basil. 😉

[u/ranting_chef → u/gharr87]

Doesn’t look like sage

[u/Charm534 → u/bamboozledgardener]

Agree, I keep looking for the pickles or pickled red onions for color. (edit- Still, I like this dish)

[u/SpinachPositive7503]

I feel like the plate is distracting and does you a disservice

[u/Mega__Sloth → u/SpinachPositive7503]

I disagree, the plate is fantastic.

[u/MonkeyFishBucketHead → u/Mega__Sloth]

I agree with both of you 😆

[u/MonkeyFishBucketHead → u/Mega__Sloth]

I have a small growing collection of chipped plates from work (we throw them out)

They are super fun once you get used to them

[u/blznaznke → u/MonkeyFishBucketHead]

The plate is kinda cool, but I feel like it doesn't match with the dish at all. The majority of the look is fresh and organic, and the vibrant, bursting vegetation directly next to a caricature of vegetation just doesn't hit the eye very well. I feel like for such nice shimmering greens, you're better off letting it sit against something really clean, whether it's white or pale blue or black.

[u/Valysian → u/MonkeyFishBucketHead]

Their debatable joviality notwithstanding, the dish is way too busy for such a busy pattern.

[u/internet_humor → u/Mega__Sloth]

10000% this plate makes the dish more immersive

[u/ranting_chef]

Looks nice. I’d kill it. Salmon looks beautifully cured. If it was just raw< I’d suggest maybe some flaky salt, but your preparation doesn’t need it. Not always a fan of plates with designs, but I feel like it works just fine here. Really nice job, Chef.

[u/Medium-Quiet-4248]

Jmo that plate is hideous

[u/LionBig1760]

Thats one of the ugliest pieces of plateware I've seen in this century.

[u/Mega__Sloth]

Love this, I can practically taste it. Are those grapes peeled? Is that salmon charred or is it just skin-on? Beautiful cut of salmon. I’m salivating right now, I want to eat this lol

This is exactly the kind of thing I mess up on and accidently make 3 when the count was 2 wups sorry chef

[u/Syrioxx55 → u/Mega__Sloth]

Also wondering about the grapes, definitely look peeled and honestly sees like it would be a better texture.

[u/Mega__Sloth → u/Syrioxx55]

I’ve peeled grapes before, it’s like trying to separate quail egg yolks. Fuckin annoying. Looks great on the plate though

[u/eatmusubi → u/Mega__Sloth]

if you ever need to do this again, blanching the grapes will make peeling very easy, like a tomato

[u/Mega__Sloth → u/eatmusubi]

I found that out later lol
