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 in every bite. The secret weapon here is coconut aminos, which delivers that rich, umami-forward depth you'd expect from a soy-based sauce without any wheat or gluten concerns. It's a genuinely smart swap that doesn't ask you to sacrifice flavor, and the honey and turmeric round everything out beautifully. The technique is a simple sear-then-roast method that locks in a gorgeous golden crust before the oven finishes the job gently, keeping the chops juicy all the way through. Reserving a portion of the marinade to cook down into a glossy glaze is a small step that makes a big difference — it clings to the meat and gives each bite that sticky, restaurant-style finish. A scatter of fresh scallions and cilantro at the end adds brightness and color that makes the whole plate pop. This one is absolutely worth adding to your regular rotation.

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.
