Step 1
Cut pineapple lengthwise into 4 spears, then cut each in half crosswise to make 8 pieces.
Step 2
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until it smokes slightly, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Lay pineapple pieces flat on the hot pan without moving them — listen for a steady sizzle.
Step 4
Flip once when edges turn deep golden brown with char marks, then cook the other side 2 minutes.
Step 5
Warm honey with red pepper flakes in a small bowl over the stove or microwave for 30 seconds until thin.
Step 6
Slide pineapple onto a platter, drizzle with hot honey, squeeze lime juice over top, sprinkle salt and mint, serve immediately.
