    Method: 

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add rice and cook, stirring often, until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in cauliflower, water, onion, curry powder, tomatoes and juice from 1/2 the lemon. Cover tightly with foil and the Dutch oven lid and bake until rice is almost tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Uncover, arrange salmon on top of rice and continue to bake, uncovered, until salmon is just cooked through, about 10 minutes more; garnish with parsley. Cut remaining lemon half into wedges and serve on the side to squeeze over the top.
