Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°.

__For the tenderloin, combine __ brown sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. salt, and cayenne; rub over pork and let stand 10 minutes.

Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add pork and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Transfer skillet to oven and roast pork until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°, 16–18 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board and tent with foil; let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

For the salsa, whisk together lime juice, honey, cumin, and coriander. Stir in pineapple, oranges, scallions, cilantro, and jalapeño.

Serve pork with salsa.
