Roast the cauliflower
Heat the oven to 220°C. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the cauliflower with 2 tbsp olive oil, sumac, 1/2 tsp salt, and a few grinds of black pepper; roast, turning once.
14 minTip: Leave space between florets so they roast instead of steaming.

Roast the salmon
Push the cauliflower aside and set the salmon portions on the rimmed baking sheet; drizzle with the remaining olive oil and half the lemon juice, then roast at 220°C until just opaque and flaky.
