Strain the potatoes and cauliflower and put into a large mixing bowl. Mash them together, slowly adding in the milk.

Cut the salmon fillets into bite sized cubes and place them into the casserole dish. Season with salt and butter. Top the salmon with the onion and garlic mixture from the skillet and then sprinkle with half of the tarragon. Spread the mashed potato mixture over the top evenly.
