@green beans{10%oz}
@cauliflower florets{1%head}
@salmon fillets{2%pieces}
@butter{2%tbsp}
@olive oil{1%tbsp}
@smoky red pepper crema{2%tbsp}

#oven-ready tray{}

Preheat oven to 425°F and adjust rack to the middle position. Wash and dry all produce. Trim green beans and toss with half the olive oil and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Pat salmon fillets dry and season generously with blackening spice.

Place cauliflower florets in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until very tender, ~{6%minutes} to ~{8%minutes}. If cauliflower is hard to mash, continue microwaving in 1-minute bursts until tender. Drain any excess liquid, mash with butter, and season to taste.

Place salmon and green beans in the provided oven-ready tray. Roast on the middle rack until green beans are crisp-tender and salmon is cooked through, ~{12%minutes} to ~{15%minutes}. For 4 servings, bake two trays side by side.

Divide salmon, cauliflower mash, and green beans between plates. Drizzle with smoky red pepper crema and serve immediately.
