In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, dried oregano, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated.
