Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Coconut-Lime Glaze and Toasted Almonds

A vibrant and flavorful pork tenderloin dish with a sweet and tangy coconut-lime glaze, perfectly complemented by crunchy toasted almonds.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds, toasted

Instructions:

  1. Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season generously with cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and pour coconut milk into the skillet. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in lime juice and honey.
  4. Return the pork tenderloin to the skillet, nestling it in the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C).
  5. Remove the pork from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Pour the remaining sauce over the sliced pork and garnish with toasted almonds. Serve immediately.
