Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 3 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tsp Honey
• 1 tbsp White wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat or silver skin, and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder to create a spice rub.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

While the pork is roasting, prepare the mustard lime vinaigrette by whisking together Dijon mustard, lime juice, honey, white wine vinegar, fresh parsley (finely chopped), and water in a small bowl.

Step 8

Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into medallions.

Step 9

Drizzle the mustard lime vinaigrette over the sliced pork and garnish with additional parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a crisp salad.
