Roasted Salmon with spicy cauliflower

4 garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 tsp Coarse salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
4 teaspoons olive oil (I like to use the oil from sundried tomatoes)
1 head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), cored and cut into large florets
4 wild salmon fillets, (4 ounces each)
4 thin lemon slices, halved, plus 4 wedges, for serving

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Gather garlic and red-pepper flakes into a pile. Using a chefs knife, coarsely chop; season generously with salt. Using flat side of knife blade, mash mixture into a paste.

2. Place paste into a large bowl; add oil, and mix to combine. Add cauliflower, and toss to coat. Spread mixture in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast until starting to soften, about 15 minutes.

3. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Remove baking sheet from oven; push cauliflower to sides, and place fillets in the center. Arrange two half-slices of lemon on each fillet. Return to oven; bake until fish is opaque throughout, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
