Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 bone-in pork chops and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove chops and let rest.
Step 3: While pork rests, combine in a bowl 1 diced ripe mango, 1 diced avocado, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 1 minced small jalapeño, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1 tsp honey. Gently toss to combine.
Step 4: Serve each pork chop topped with a generous spoonful of the mango-avocado salsa for a bright, fresh contrast to the savory meat.
