A delightful twist on a classic pork loin recipe, featuring a honey glaze and a citrus butter sauce.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the pork loin in a roasting pan, fat side up.
Positioning the fat side up allows the juices to baste the meat as it cooks.
In a mixing bowl, combine honey and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well blended.
Brush the glaze evenly over the pork loin.
Use a basting brush for even application.
Roast the pork loin in the oven for 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature accurately.
While the pork is roasting, zest the orange and mix it with the butter to create the citrus butter.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender.
Serve the pork loin with a dollop of citrus butter on top.
Garnish with fresh herbs for added presentation.
