- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

- Glaze and Roast:
- Brush the prepared glaze generously over the seared pork loin.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Roast for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to check.
- Rest and Slice:
- Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Slice the pork loin into medallions, drizzling any remaining glaze over the top.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.
Cook’s Note:
- If you don’t have maple syrup, you can substitute honey or brown sugar.
- For a smoky twist, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the glaze.
