Savory, sticky, and packed with bold flavor, these seared-and-roasted pork chops hit every note you want from a weeknight dinner that still feels a little special. The secret weapon here is coconut aminos — a naturally sweet, soy-sauce-like condiment that brings deep umami without any of the corn syrup derivatives that sneak into conventional soy sauces and bottled marinades. Paired with fresh ginger, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey, the marinade does serious flavor work before the chops even hit the pan. The sear-then-roast method locks in a gorgeous golden crust while keeping the interior juicy, and the reserved glaze — cooked down until it coats a spoon — makes every bite glossy and intensely savory. Scallions and fresh cilantro scattered on top add a bright, herby finish that cuts right through the richness. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to source, so you're not hunting down specialty items or squinting at labels trying to decode a long list of additives. It's the kind of clean, craveable cooking that makes you wonder why you ever reached for a bottled sauce in the first place.

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, fresh ginger, garlic, honey, turmeric, and ground ginger until combined. Reserve 3 tablespoons of this mixture in a small saucepan and set aside for the glaze. Pour the remaining marinade into a large zip-top bag or shallow dish.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with the salt. Add the chops to the marinade, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
