Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the turmeric and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 2 teaspoons of honey and stir until melted. Add the pears in a single layer. Season with a pinch of salt and cook, turning once, until pears are softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer pears to a plate and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil and remaining teaspoon of honey. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Toss the greens and red onion slices with the dressing and divide among 4 salad plates. Top with the spiced almonds, pears and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
