Step 1
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

In the same skillet, add fresh orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Allow the glaze to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thick and glossy.
