garnished

Topped with parsley

Garnished is the past tense of garnish, meaning decorated or embellished—most often food presented with an added element for visual appeal: The plate arrived garnished with parsley and a lemon wedge.

In legal contexts, garnished describes wages or accounts that have been seized to satisfy a debt: His paycheck was garnished to cover child support.
