  Add the cider to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula to loosen all the browned bits.
• Step 9
  Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the sour cream & stir to combine. Season with salt & pepper.
• Step 10
  Return the salmon to the pan for 2 min, or until the sauce thickens & the salmon is cooked through.

  When the cauliflower is cooked, drain it. Mash it with a fork, masher or blender. Season with salt, pepper & a drizzle of olive oil.
• Step 12
  Serve the mashed cauliflower with the salmon. Spoon the sauce over top & enjoy!
