Lemony Salmon with Pesto Cauliflower Mash

Ingredients

• 1 Lemon, thinly sliced
• 1 1/4 lb. skinless salmon fillet
• 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• kosher salt
• black pepper
• 1/2 large head cauliflower (about 1 lb.), chopped
• 1 15-oz. can white beans, rinsed
• 1/4 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 3 tbsp. Pesto

Directions

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with nonstick foil. Arrange the lemon slices in the middle of the baking sheet.
2. Place the fish on the top of the lemons. Season with the red pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Roast until the fish is opaque throughout, 12 to 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil in a large deep skillet. Add the cauliflower and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, covered, shaking the pan occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender, 4 to 5 minutes (the water will evaporate).
4. Add the beans and 1/4 cup water to the pan and bring to a simmer. Coarsely mash the cauliflower and beans, then fold in the parsley, pesto, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Serve with the salmon.
