These pork chops bring serious weeknight energy with a marinade built around coconut aminos, fresh ginger, garlic, honey, and a touch of turmeric — bold, layered flavors that come together in one bowl. The sear-then-roast method gives you a deeply golden crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender, finishing at a perfect 145°F. A portion of the marinade gets reserved before the meat ever touches it, then reduced into a glossy glaze that gets spooned right over the rested chops for an extra hit of savory-sweet intensity. Tree nut concerns can make sauces and marinades tricky since many store-bought options sneak in unexpected ingredients, but every component here is straightforward and easy to verify. Coconut aminos do the heavy lifting in place of soy sauce, delivering that umami depth without any of the usual label-reading stress. Finished with sliced scallions and fresh cilantro, this dish looks and tastes like something you'd order at a restaurant — but it comes together entirely in your own kitchen.

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.
