Instructions: Preheat a ridged grill pan over a medium-high flame.

Peel the pears and slice them in half. Core the halves, then slice each half into several thick slices running from top to bottom.

Lightly brush each pear slice with oil, making sure to cover it entirely.

Sprinkle a bit of salt on each slice.

Gently press the slices onto the grill pan. Cook until tender and deeply marked, about three minutes. Use a spatula to turn the halves and cook on the other side for an additional three minutes.

Transfer pear slices to serving plates.

To make the glaze: Combine the rice syrup, mint leaves and lemon zest in a small saucepan.

Cook over a medium flame until the mixture foams.

Spoon the glaze over the pear slice and garnish with berries.
