Put 4 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup water in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens and darkens, about 10 minutes.
Peel and slice the bananas at an angle into ovals about 1/2 inch thick.
Add the bananas to the skillet and cook until warm and coated with caramel sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature.
