What can I add to make this grilled brie with strawberries better?

I made this mostly because I saw one of those little videos on how easy it is and because I happened to have the ingredients. And I currently have too much time on my hands. In the end, it's nothing special.

I want to take it to work tomorrow and put it in the break room, but not unless I can balance the flavors.

There is a wedge of Brie, to which I added fresh strawberries and walnuts and then some walnut oil (recipe said olive oil). After getting it melty on the grill, I added some fig and walnut vinaigrette and a little basil. It's too one note. The strawberries are the best part. Maybe some heat? Some acid? More sweet?

eta: maybe even just zest of citrus.

Blood orange juice?

Honey?

Habanero powder?

Dangit, I juiced six lemons and threw the carcasses down the disposal. I meant to save one!

I have a lime in the fridge, not sure how that would work.

All good suggestions. I wish I could know without experimenting and messing it up! I may have to put it in the fridge and re-visit it in the morning.

A dollop of lemon curd. Final answer.

Sure looks beautiful. I wouldn't decline any pralined walnuts.

If it doesnt already have too much liquid, maybe some slight warmed Tabasco pepperjelly.

I usually wrap the brie and whatever preserve in puff pastry and bake. Doesn't last long when served which should be warm.

A selection of sliced mushrooms sauteed in butter. Or perhaps some prosciutto to better balance the strawberry- but each would be good in different ways- and perhaps both together.
