👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius). Combine the salt, coriander, and cumin in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin.
2. 2Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork to the pan. Cook for 6 minutes, rotating to brown on all sides.
3. 3Remove the pork from the pan and transfer it to the rack of a roasting pan. Brush all sides with the harissa glaze. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
4. 4Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes. Cut it crosswise into slices. Serve with the minted yogurt sauce and you can also pair it with a heaping portion of Fattoush Salad.
