For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the pork chops for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) in a mixture of olive oil, orange zest, sage, garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. To prevent the butter from burning, you can add a tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet along with the butter. If you don't have fresh sage on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried sage, but the flavor will be more intense, so use it sparingly. Serve these orange-sage pork chops with a side of roasted vegetables, creamy polenta, or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal. The orange-sage glaze can also be used on chicken breasts or salmon fillets for a delicious variation.

Apr 12, 2025The pork chops were a little dry, so next time I'll try marinating them beforehand as suggested in the notes.
