Home cook. Dish is lacking color. What could I add to make it pop more?

  1. Sometimes less is more imo. Maybe some fresh herbs through the rice to brighten it up. This might not be the right page to post this specific dish but the plating overall isn’t bad. Some people might tell you to add some micro greens, oils or textures but it doesn’t really need any of that.

    use a mold for the rice, reduce the amount of asparagus and make sure it’s blanched to get a nice green color, put the asparagus on top of the sauced proteins. green should contrast well with the sauce. flavors sound nice.

    Very well done as is. Compact, every component plays well visually with others. Agree with the comment that finely chopped herbs in the rice would take it up a notch without gilding the lily.

    And the *sequence* of components – rice, then asparagus, etc. – is spot-on. Everything’s visible yet part of a greater whole, which so many dishes struggle to achieve.
