Lemon sole with parsley mashed potatoes (parsley blended with butter and cream and passed through a sieve), crispy crouton, sauce (fish stock, white wine, mirepoix, butter and cream) and frisee, fennel, parsley, apple and pea shoots on top.

I kind of messed up this one. The sauce should have been foam (stabilized with lecithin) which requires the liquid to be water-based and strong tasting but I forgot in the process and made the sauce way too thick. So it ended up like a normal sauce which is not what I wanted.

Secondly, I decided to bake some fresh bread for the crouton instead of just buying some. To be able to get thin slices of bread it's pretty much required to be semi-frozen (and apparently that takes time...). I ended up sodomizing the majority of my fresh boule before it got a few usable slices. Beh.
