Prep: 30 mins Cook: 20 mins Serves: 6 Difficulty: easy
Canadian Pork Pan-Seared

Required Spices

½ tsp Paprika
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Onion Powder
¼ tsp Dry Mustard
¼ tsp Fennel Seeds, crushed
¼ tsp Black Pepper
Pinch Cayenne Pepper (optional)

Other Ingredients

6 boneless pork loin chops (½ inch thick)
1½ tbsp brown sugar
1½ tsp sea salt
¼ cup pure maple syrup
2 tbsp spicy brown mustard
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp canola oil
1 clove garlic, crushed

Instructions

  1. Whisk together brown sugar, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, dry mustard, and fennel seeds in a small bowl.
  2. Pat pork chops dry. Score both sides in a cross-hatch pattern (⅛-inch deep, ½-inch apart). Rub the spice mixture into all surfaces and scored lines. Cover and refrigerate 4-6 hours.
  3. Make the glaze: whisk maple syrup, brown mustard, and a pinch each of garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne. Set aside.
  4. Coat the marinated chops with seasoned bread crumbs on all sides.
  5. Heat olive oil and canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly browned, about 1 minute. Remove and discard garlic.
  6. Add chops to skillet in batches (don't crowd the pan). Brown 2-3 minutes per side. Return all chops to skillet, reduce heat to medium. Drizzle half the glaze over chops, flip, cook 1-2 minutes. Add remaining glaze, flip again, cook another 1-2 minutes.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), about 5 minutes. Rest briefly before serving.
