Preheat the oven to 425. 2️⃣Slice the zucchini lengthwise and score the tops, then place on a plate and salt the tops generously. Let them sit for 10 minutes. 3️⃣While the zucchini sits, make the butter. Add the butter, olive oil, honey, salt, parsley, garlic and pepper to a small bowl. Mix together to form a paste. Set aside. 4️⃣Use a paper towel to remove the moisture from the tops of the zucchini. Do not rinse. 5️⃣Heat a cast iron pan or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add some olive oil and place the zucchini face down. Place a heavy pan on top to press the zucchini down. Sear for 2 minutes, until the tops are browned. Flip the zucchini over and place in the oven for 10 minutes. 6️⃣Remove the zucchini from the oven, then place a spoonful of the butter over each zucchini and spread over the tops. Place them back in the oven for 10-12 more minutes, until tender. If you would like the tops more brown, place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes. 7️⃣Plate the zucchini then top with the arugula, pine nuts and goat cheese.
