Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 medium Fresh peaches
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Set aside to allow the seasoning to penetrate the meat while you prepare the salsa.
Dice the fresh peaches into small cubes and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat) and add them to the bowl with the peaches.
Add lime juice and honey to the peach mixture. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed. Set the salsa aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet.
Cook the pork chops for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on their thickness, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and develop a golden-brown crust.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and tent them with aluminum foil. Let the chops rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the pork chops with a generous scoop of peach salsa on top or on the side. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
