Prepare corn by shucking fresh corn or thawing frozen corn, measuring approximately 4 cups.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter until bubbly but not browned, around 2-3 minutes.
Stir in 1/4 cup of honey and bubble gently for about 2 minutes to create the honey butter sauce.
Toss in the prepared corn kernels, stir well to coat, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper, cooking for about 5 minutes until heated through and slightly caramelized.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.
