Enjoy the fresh flavor of wild salmon while it's in season, mid-May to mid-September. King Salmon (also called chinook), coho and sockeye are some of the wild varieties to look for.
The salmon takes only minutes to cook under the broiler. Heating a baking tray under the broiler before adding the salmon creates bottom heat and means you don't have to turn the salmon during cooking.
The cauliflower is made in a microwave oven. It can also be steamed over boiled water for 5 minutes. It is finished by browning the topping under the broiler.
