Toss cauliflower florets in olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Lay them out flat onto a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender and slightly charred.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nPat dry and season the char fillets with salt and pepper.\r\nLightly coat a nonstick or cast-iron pan with olive oil and heat over a\r\nmedium-high flame. You\u2019ll know the pan is hot enough when the oil starts to\r\nshimmer. For crispy skin, pan-sear the fillets skin-side down first for 3-5\r\nminutes. Flip onto the other side and cook for another minute. Set aside on a\r\nwarm plate to rest.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nIn a small sauce pan, whisk the fresh lemon juice and olive\r\noil together over low heat. Add the green olive slices and capers to the pot,\r\nand stir. Add salt and pepper to taste.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nTo serve, spoon the mixture over the fillets and cauliflower. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
