Fresh Canadian Salmon & Cauliflower Tomato Medley

** Flexibility has to be one of my main character traits.  Brett wanted to cook up the Salmon his own way.  Brett's secret sauce is soooooo holy that he won't tell me what he's doing!!!  This was what he did at the "Salmon Bake" restaurant he worked at when he lived in Alaska.  (There is butter, brown sugar and lemon juice!)
Cauliflower Tomato Medley
Ingredients:
1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
6 bacon strips, diced
1-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
3 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
2 Tablespoons sliced green onion
1-1/2 teaspoons sniped fresh dill or 1/2 tsp dill weed
1/4 tsp salt
dash pepper
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

Directions:
Place cauliflower in a large saucepan; add 1 in. of water.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until crisp-tender
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp.  Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels.  Drain, reserving 3 Tbsp drippings.  Toss bacon and bread crumbs with drippings and set aside.
Drain cauliflower.  Arrange the tomatoes ina greased shallow 2 qt. baking dish.  Sprinkle with onion, dill, salt and pepper.  Top with cauliflower and bacon mixture.
Cover and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.  Uncover; sprinkle cheese on top and bake another 5 minutes to melt cheese.
