Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the seasoned pork tenderloin to the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned all over. This creates a delicious crust.

Pour about half of the honey nectarine glaze over the seared pork tenderloin in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F when measured with a meat thermometer at the thickest part.

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven. Transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy result.

While the pork rests, return the skillet with the remaining glaze to the stovetop over medium heat. Bring the glaze to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens. If the glaze is too thick, add a tablespoon of water to thin it.
