Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large bowl, combine lime zest, 2 tsp (10 mL), lime juice, 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil, cumin, salt and pepper. Add pork to mixture and coat well. Heat remaining oil in a large over-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and brown 2 min. per side, working in batches if needed.
Step 2
Add remaining lime juice to pan, scraping up and blending in brown bits. Transfer pan to oven, and roast pork 8 to 10 min. Remove pan from oven, transfer pork to a plate, top with salsa and loosely cover with foil. Reduce pan juices over medium heat until slightly thickened, 2 min. To serve, spoon pan juices over pork chops, sprinkle with cilantro and squeeze juice from remaining lime over top.
