Ingredients

  • 8 thin-cut boneless pork chops
  • 8 pineapple rings, fresh or canned
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 cup coarse kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • (Optional) Brine by soaking pork chops in water and salt for between 2 and 8 hours.
  • Drain pork chops and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Preheat your oven to 375℉.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. While the olive oil is heating, add salt and pepper to the pork chops.
  • Once your oil is hot enough, add 2-3 pork chops and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip them over and do the same on the other side.
    Repeat until all pork chops have been seared.
  • While pork chops cook, mix glaze: combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, ginger, and garlic into a small bowl.
  • Transfer all pork chops onto a large baking sheet. Top with pineapple rings, then pour glaze over pork and pineapple.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145℉.
