What does 盛り付け mean in this sentence?

盛り付け（もりつけ） means the arrangement or presentation of food on a plate.

In this sentence, it refers to how the dish is plated. So it is not about cooking the food itself, but about how it looks when served.

Why is が used after 盛り付け?

Here, が marks 盛り付け as the subject of the clause:

• 盛り付けがきれいだ = the plating is beautiful / the presentation is pretty

A learner might expect は, but が is natural here because the sentence is presenting the plating as the thing that has the quality きれい.

So the first part is basically:

• If the plating is nice...
