Ingredients

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat
1 teaspoon salt-free lemon pepper
Vegetable cooking spray
½ cup spring onion jelly, or apricot or orange marmalade
1 tablespoon mirin (sweet rice wine)

Directions

Before you begin: Wash your hands.

1. Slice pork into four pieces and season with lemon pepper.
2. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
3. Add pork and cook 4 minutes on each side or until a thermometer inserted into the pork registers 145°F (the meat will be slightly pink).
4. Add  jelly or preserves and mirin to the skillet; stir to make a glaze, about 1 minute. Spoon the glaze over the pork.

Cooking Note:

• To round out the meal, prepare instant rice and microwave frozen broccoli. Serve canned peaches (packed in 100% juice) for dessert.
