Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless pork loin roast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 3 individual garlic cloves, minced
- 0.75 cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Season the pork loin roast evenly with salt, pepper, and paprika, rubbing the spices into the meat for thorough coverage.
In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Remove the pork temporarily and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and orange juice until smooth. Set aside half of the glaze for serving (optional).
Return the pork roast to the skillet and brush it generously with the orange glaze.
Place the skillet with the pork roast in the preheated oven and cook for about 75–90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the roast with the reserved glaze every 20 minutes for added flavor.
Remove the pork from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Serve with reserved orange glaze on the side, if desired.
