The saying is to give "his head on a silver platter" meaning the ability to discredit or ruin someone that is trivially easy to accomplish. Demostrating the effect of her charms, all Salome had to do was ask.
The more general idiom "on a silver platter" has two similar uses:
-- presented or acquired through little or no effort
-- presented in a grand, overblown, or excessively formal manner, as if it were something very valuable.
