Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • 1/4 cup honey (raw or wildflower honey preferred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 ripe peaches, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Place pork chops in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  3. While pork marinates, combine diced peaches, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Toss gently and let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil grates or grill pan lightly to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove pork chops from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill chops for 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 145°F, basting once or twice with leftover marinade.
  6. Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes after grilling to redistribute juices.
  7. Serve pork chops warm topped with a generous spoonful of peach salsa.

Notes

Marinate pork chops for at least 30 minutes but no more than 2 hours to avoid texture changes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chops reach 145°F for juicy results. Watch grill heat carefully as honey caramelizes quickly. Peach salsa can be made ahead and refrigerated. If peaches are not ripe, toss with honey and lime juice before dicing. For indoor cooking, use a cast-iron skillet and finish in the oven.
