Sam Obst produced a fine display in the absence of Danny Brough
Wakefield Wildcats banished the memory of their last home Super League outing, the 52-0 drubbing by Huddersfield, by demolishing Salford at Belle Vue.
Wakefield started well, building a 28-0 half-time lead through Daryl Millard, Tevita Leo-Latu, Glenn Morrison, Dale Ferguson and Aaron Murphy tries.
Sam Obst, standing in for Danny Brough, added a try and then set one up for Damian Blanch in the second half.
Dismal Salford responded with 17 minutes left through Stuart Littler.
The Wildcats took the lead after six minutes when a fine offload by Jason Demetriou found Matt Blaymire and the ball was worked wide left to Millard.
Scrum-half Obst missed the conversion but, with the clock on 10 minutes. He was handed an easier opportunity as Leo-Latu battered his way over from close range.
Morrison's clever stretch for the line three minutes later ended some dominant play by Wakefield's forwards, producing a third try for the hosts as Obst added the extras.
Poor defending by the Reds led to Ferguson's score under the posts and Murphy's try, which were both converted.
Wakefield upped the pace and some slick handling saw Murphy receive a wide pass and race away to score before the break.
Obst's try came within five minutes of the restart when Morrison's offload sent Blanch down the right wing.
He was halted but not held in the tackle and got up to deliver the scoring pass to Obst.
Salford's only score came from virtually their first attack of the game as they broke down the left, Luke Swain finding Stuart Littler for the try which was converted by Stefan Ratchford.
Obst rounded off an impressive show with a weighted kick which Blanch touched down to round off a second straight win.
It also took sixth-placed Wakefield level with the four other sides on 10 points, two behind leaders Wigan.
Wakefield coach John Kear said:
"It was an absolutely exceptional first 20 minutes. Salford only had three sets or so but you've got to take advantage of that and all credit to the players because they did that.
"All 17 contributed. If somebody had said you're going to win 36-6 I think you'd have been pretty satisfied.
"Thirty points between yourself and any other Super League team is a pretty comprehensive victory."
Salford coach Shaun McRae said:
"It didn't go according to plan at the start of the game.
"In the first 19 sets we had four of them and made errors on two of those.
"They were very good with the ball early on, we were a bit passive defensively and didn't control their big men or their off-loads and you can see what happens when you give a side a start like that."
