This honey glazed pork loin is juicy, tender, and wrapped in a sweet‑savory crust that tastes like a holiday roast any night.
The butter-rubbed pork roasts in the oven while a rich honey garlic glaze caramelizes beautifully on top.
It is perfect for Sunday dinners, special occasions, or any time you want an impressive but easy main dish.

Preheat your oven to 350°F and place a rack in the center.
If you plan to transfer from the skillet, line a roasting pan with foil and set a rack inside.
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels on all sides.
In a small bowl, mix the sea salt, black pepper, lemon pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Rub this spice mixture evenly over the pork, pressing it in so it sticks well.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned pork loin and sear on all sides until nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
If your skillet is not oven-safe, move the browned pork to the prepared roasting pan.
Reduce the heat to medium and, in a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter.
Add the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, thyme, rosemary, apple juice, and pineapple juice.
Stir in the sea salt and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring often until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Brush the pork loin all over with a generous layer of the warm honey garlic glaze.
Place the pork in the oven and roast, uncovered, for 50 to 65 minutes, depending on thickness.
Baste with more glaze every 15 to 20 minutes, reserving at least 1/4 cup glaze for serving.
Pork is done when an instant-read thermometer in the center reaches 140°F to 145°F.
Transfer the pork to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, simmer any remaining glaze for 1 to 2 minutes if you want it slightly thicker.
Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch slices and spoon warm glaze over the top to serve.

This honey glazed pork loin shines alongside garlicky mashed potatoes and a simple green salad for a comfort-food dinner.
For a fun twist, sprinkle chopped fresh herbs and a little flaky sea salt over the sliced pork right before serving.
Leftovers make amazing sandwiches with toasted rolls, sharp mustard, and crunchy pickles.
These sides complement the meal beautifully.

gabrielle, nj: help! lol hi! im looking to make this recipe in a couple days for family. I have a 9 pound loin which I will cut in half or thirds. (open to suggestions and tips ) one question.. maybe I misunderstanding or didn’t see it. Exactly how much apple juice and pineapple juice does the recipe call for? im assuming cup?
: Thanks for pointing that out Gabrielle! Yes, both apple juice and pineapple juice are measured in cups. We'll make sure to add these units. For 9 pounds, you can cut the loin in half for more even cooking.
Tonya, Phoenix: You will not regret making this
: So glad it was a winner for you, Tonya!
Cindy Bradley, Concord: Loved how juicy the pork stayed, and the honey garlic glaze with the apple and pineapple juices was perfectly sweet and tangy. Searing first and basting along the way gave it such great flavor and a beautiful finish.
: So happy it hit the spot, Cindy!
