Maple, Mustard and Soy Salmon with Cauliflower Bake

Earlier tonight Steph wanted to cook dinner. So I let her :P I was mightily impressed with the finished outcome.

Here's what you need (to serve 2):
For the Salmon:

• 2 salmon steaks
• 2tbs Maple syrup
• 2tbs Dark soy sauce
• 1tbs Dijon mustard

For the Cauliflower:

• One head of cauliflower
• 1tbs Plain flour
• 50g salted butter
• 1 handful of grated cheese
  
• 3/4 cup of milk

Here's what you do:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Chop the cauliflower into bite sized pieces and drop in some boiling water for about 1-2 minutes until soft depending on size. You want the cauliflower to be cooked yet still be firm. In a saucepan melt the butter and mix in the flour until it is lump free. Pour about half the milk in and stir the mixture till smooth. Then add the grated cheese and continue stirring. Add the rest of the milk and if the sauce is still too thick then add a little more.

Pour the sauce onto the cauliflower into an oven proof dish and bake for around 10-15 minutes or until the golden brown.

For the Salmon marinade mix the maple syrup, dark soy sauce and Dijon mustard. Heat a non-stick fry pan and sear one side of the salmon. Brush the marinade on the top of the salmon steak and then turn over, brushing the seared side. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes, the middle should be medium rare.

Serve together and enjoy :)
