Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick, 6–8 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pork chops marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice (about 5 minutes).
  2. Marinate the pork chops: Pat pork chops dry, rub marinade evenly over each chop, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  3. Make the sweet peach salsa: Combine diced peaches, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, cilantro, lemon juice, honey, and salt in a bowl. Stir gently and let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Clean and oil the grates.
  5. Grill the pork chops: Place chops on the grill and cook 4-5 minutes per side, flipping once using tongs.
  6. Check doneness with a meat thermometer; internal temperature should be 145°F (63°C).
  7. Rest the pork chops: Remove from grill and let rest tented with foil for 5 minutes.
  8. Serve: Spoon sweet peach salsa over each pork chop and serve immediately.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. Let pork rest after grilling for juicy meat. If no grill, use grill pan or cast iron skillet and finish in oven. Salsa flavors improve after resting. Frozen peaches can be used off-season after draining excess liquid.
