    Hi Eliza,

    I would just steam it lightly and make a sauce to go with the salmon.

    These threads might give you some inspiration:

    Cauliflower? Recipe please

    broccoli

    It's not a sauce to go with your salmon but I often make cauli & brocolli soup. I cut the cauli & brocoli into pieces and put in a pan with a couple of chopped onions, some garlic, salt & pepper & chicken or veg stock and cook until done. Whizz, check seasoning & its nice with either a swirl of cream or some milk stirred into it. HTH

    Steamed broccoli just plain or topped with fried seasoned breadcrumbs.

    Cauli is nice with a well reduced tomato sauce (tomatoes/onion/garlic/herbs)
    :wave:
  • I love Brocolli with Salmon and I sometimes shallow fry the Brocolli with olive oil, garlic and soy sauce, a sprinkling of seasme seeds to serve, delish.

    You could always save the cauliflower for another meal.

    My canteen do a nice cauli and brocoli soup - I have yet to try and replicate it myself but it is surprisingly yum

    Google shows this which doesn't look too complicated

  • Hi there

    I have just found some broccoli & cauliflower lurking in the back of the fridge that I'd like to use up tonight - I'm going to be having sausages, mash & onion gravy & need to think of something nice to do with the veg (other than plain steamed) and ideas would be great

    cheers
