You think that's mashed potatoes in the picture, don't you? Sorry, Charlie, no dice. Your eyes deceive you because under the herb marinated salmon you see is a creamy pile of pureed cauliflower. The consistency is much like good, fresh mashed potatoes but a little lighter so you feel like you're being healthier. It's a vegetable, but if you prepare it like I did, it's probably not much better for you.
I boiled the cauliflower til soft, mashed with a potato masher, mixed in a little cream and fresh parmesan, and pureed with an immersion blender. So maybe the cream and parmesan erased all the benefits I added by switching the main ingredient from starch to veggie, but I don't even think it needed the cream so I'll leave that out next time and bingo bango - we're back to healthy. The parmesan, on the other hand, that stays in - don't even think about taking that out if (when) you make this at home.
