These pork chops are the kind of weeknight dinner that feels way more impressive than the effort involved — deeply savory, a little sweet, and fragrant with fresh ginger and garlic. Coconut aminos stand in beautifully for soy sauce, delivering that rich umami backbone without any of the hidden condiment ingredients that can sneak mustard into a dish. The marinade does the heavy lifting, infusing the meat with layers of flavor from apple cider vinegar, honey, and a double hit of ginger before the chops ever hit the pan. A quick sear in coconut oil builds a gorgeous golden crust, and finishing them in the oven keeps everything juicy all the way to the bone. The reserved marinade gets reduced into a glossy glaze that you spoon right over the rested chops — it's the kind of finishing touch that makes the whole plate look like it came out of a restaurant kitchen. Fresh scallions and cilantro on top add a bright, herby pop that ties everything together. Clean ingredients, bold flavor, and zero stress about what's lurking in a store-bought sauce.

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.
