Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 large Lime (juice and zest)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the pan.
Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Remove them from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes.
While the pork chops are resting, prepare the lime mayo. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, the juice and zest of 1 lime, honey, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to combine.
Taste the lime mayo and adjust seasoning if necessary with a pinch of salt or a bit more lime juice, depending on your preference.
Serve the pork chops hot with a dollop of lime mayo on the side or drizzled on top. Garnish with lime wedges for extra zing. Enjoy!
