Tries from Damien Blanch, Oliver Wilkes and Ryan Atkins helped the Wildcats into a commanding 19-0 lead at the break after an insipid display by the Reds.
Salford caused more problems in the second half and rallied with a Stephen Myler try but Wakefield would not fold.
Atkins and Blanch killed off the game with tries in the last five minutes although Willie Talau grabbed a late Salford consolation.
It was a second win in three outings for the Wildcats and fired another shot at the critics who wrote off their chances this term.
The only downside for them was a another serious-looking injury, this time to Scott Grix, for their already threadbare squad.
Grix, who started at scrum-half, was helped from the field late in the first half with a leg problem.
Any further absence would see him join a casualty list that already included four other playmakers in Sam Obst, Jamie Rooney, Danny Brough and Tevita Leo-Latu before the game.
