Spring has sprung and I’m lightening up my recipes to include the fresh flavors of the season. During the cold winter months I prepare many of warm and cozy comfort food dishes like Turkey a la King, Reuben Casserole, Split Pea Soup with Ham, and Eggplant Parmesan for my personal chef clients.

With the warmer temps, it’s time to show off the bright and colorful produce popping up at the market. And this roasted pork tenderloin with fresh herbs and sweet and spicy strawberry salsa is the perfect dinner recipe.

The pork tenderloin has a fresh, light and savory rub highlighted by lime juice and fresh thyme and parsley. A quick sear of “the other white meat” adds a beautiful golden brown crust. The tenderloins finish cooking in the oven while the salsa with fresh sweet strawberries, red onion, cucumber and some heat and spice from jalapeno is tossed together. A truly delicious 30 minute recipe!

how to make strawberry jalapeno salsa from scratch

I love pairing roasted, seared and grilled meats with a fresh salsa. It’s an easy way to make a WOW! statement with a dish.

Chop fresh, bright red strawberries along with red onion, spicy jalapeno, and cucumber. Toss it all in a bowl and stir in a squeeze of lime juice, sweet and sticky honey, and a little silky extra virgin olive oil. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. The salt offsets the sweetness of the ingredients and heightens their flavors.

And that’s it! Double the recipe and serve with some tortilla chips for a riff on the traditional tomato salsa.

chef cooking tips for pork tenderloin with strawberry jalapeno salsa

  • Take the pork tenderloins out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you start to cook. By removing the chill, the pork will cook more evenly and quickly.
  • Don’t skip the step of searing the tenderloins before roasting them. Not only does it add beautiful golden color, it also makes for a nice smoky crust on the pork.
  • Let the pork rest about 5 to 10 minutes before slicing it into medallions. This will redistribute the juices throughout the meat.
  • Cut the strawberries and vegetables in similar sized pieces for the salsa. This makes for the prettiest presentation.

Description

A delicious and unique 30 minute dinner recipe, Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Strawberry Jalapeno Salsa is a savory, sweet and spicy dish. The fresh salsa also makes for a tasty dip with tortilla chips too.


Ingredients

Scale

for the pork tenderloin

  • 2 (1 pound) pork tenderloins
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

for the strawberry jalapeno salsa

  • 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons diced jalapeno
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Set aside.
  2. Place pork tenderloins on a work surface. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and lime juice. 
  3. In a small bowl, combine thyme, parsley, onion and garlic powders, paprika, kosher salt and pepper.
  4. Generously coat the pork tenderloins with herb and spice mix.
  5. Heat a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add about 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the seasoned pork tenderloin. Brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  6. Place the browned pork tenderloins on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes. The cooking time will depend on the size of the tenderloins. The pork is ready when the internal temperature is 145 degrees on a digital thermometer. Remove from the oven and let rest.
  7. While the pork is roasting, make the Strawberry Jalapeno Salsa.
  8. In a medium sized bowl, combine the strawberries, red onion, cucumber, jalapeno, parsley, lime juice, honey and extra virgin olive oil. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper. Set aside.
  9. Slice the pork tenderloin in 1 inch medallions and place on a platter. Drizzle with any of the accumulated pan juices. Serve with the Strawberry Jalapeno Salsa.

    The star of this dish is the strawberry jam. It highlights the flavors of the tenderloin and makes the dish, in my opinion. Thank you for sharing.

    I’ve had pork with a variety of fruit compotes, but strawberry is a novelty. We get loads of fresh strawberries when they’re in season so I can’t wait to give this flavour combination a try!

    What a beautiful and refreshing way to serve pork tenderloins. Love the searing step – I don’t always do that, but I need to – , plus the tasty seasonings you use on the pork itself.
