Ingredients

• 3 pounds boneless pork loin roast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 3 individual garlic cloves, minced
• 0.75 cup orange marmalade
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Season the pork loin roast evenly with salt, pepper, and paprika, rubbing the spices into the meat for thorough coverage.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.

Step 4

Remove the pork temporarily and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and orange juice until smooth. Set aside half of the glaze for serving (optional).

Step 6

Return the pork roast to the skillet and brush it generously with the orange glaze.

Step 7

Place the skillet with the pork roast in the preheated oven and cook for about 75–90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the roast with the reserved glaze every 20 minutes for added flavor.

Step 8

Remove the pork from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Serve with reserved orange glaze on the side, if desired.
