Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 2-3 inches long or 1/4 inch thick, for even cooking.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them in the fat. Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and ground coriander. Stir well to ensure even seasoning.
Cook the carrots for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and develop light brown spots.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the honey, lemon juice, remaining tablespoon of butter, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine, ensuring the carrots are evenly coated.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the carrots simmer for 5-7 minutes, until they are tender but not mushy and the glaze has thickened slightly.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to cling to the carrots and create a glossy finish.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
