HOW TO PLATE SALMON

Four principles for a beautiful salmon plate.

Salmon already brings colour and elegance to the plate. The difference comes from how you position the fish and build sauce, sides, height and negative space around it.

Make the salmon the focal point

Place the fillet slightly off-centre and turn its most attractive side towards the guest. The salmon should read immediately as the hero.

Use sauce with control

Place sauce beside or partly beneath the fish instead of covering it. This keeps the salmon visible and gives the plate a cleaner structure.

Create fresh contrast

Green vegetables, herbs or pale purées amplify the warm colour of salmon. A few deliberate contrasts are stronger than many small accents.

Keep negative space

Do not fill every part of the plate. Open space gives the salmon more presence and makes the sides and sauce feel more intentional.
