Instructions

Step 1: Pat 4 bone-in pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving until golden brown.
Step 3: Flip the pork chops and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until an internal temperature of 145°F is reached. Remove chops and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 4: While pork rests, combine 2 diced fresh peaches, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 minced jalapeño, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1 tsp honey in a bowl. Stir gently to mix.
Step 5: Serve the rested pork chops topped with the peach salsa, garnishing with extra cilantro if desired.
