1. Whisk the honey, oil, lime juice, hot sauce, and salt together. Add the scallops and toss. Marinade for 1-24 hours in the refrigerator.
2. Heat your broiler. Add the scallops to a broiler-proof dish. Broil the scallops 4 inches from the heat source for 4-7 minutes or until the sugars from the honey brown and the scallops are opaque. Serve on a bed of spinach with some bread or rice to soak up the juices rendered from the scallops.
