Choose a plate on which the portion will cover about 2/3 of the surface.

Place the main ingredient slightly off-center and leave the vegetables or sauce in a separate area beside it.

Fill the plate while leaving a one finger-width gap around its edge.

Add a lemon wedge or a few fresh herb leaves that you prepared ahead and kept in a jar.

If time is short, serve the food on a shared tray; if you have time, plate it individually.
