Trim any visible fat from the pork tenderloin to keep the dish low in fat. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the pork is completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Place the pork on the grill or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if using the oven.
Grill the pork for about 12-15 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Alternatively, bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm with your favorite healthy sides, such as roasted vegetables or a crisp salad.
