Step 1
Slice the 1 large eggplant into 1/2 inch rounds. Sprinkle both sides with the 1 tsp salt and let sit in a colander for 20 minutes to draw out moisture.
Step 2
Pat the eggplant slices dry with paper towels to remove excess salt and moisture.
Step 3
Heat the 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 4
Working in batches, fry the eggplant slices in a single layer until golden brown and tender, about 3 minutes per side. Add more oil if needed.
Step 5
Transfer the cooked eggplant to a serving plate, overlapping slightly.
Step 6
Drizzle the 2 tbsp honey evenly over the warm eggplant slices.
Step 7
Garnish with the 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
