Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Place pork chops in a casserole dish. Peel, seed and section the clementines.
- Place half the clementine sections in a small bowl (chop the other half, reserve and refrigerate for later use in salsa). Use a fork to press half the sections into small pieces. Add orange juice and soy sauce then mix together well.
- Pour mixture over pork chops, being sure that the chops are completely covered with marinade. Cover the dish and refrigerate 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small dish, blend onion powder, salt substitute seasoning and chili powder. Remove chops from marinade and season both sides with spice mix.
- Bake in oven for 22-28 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
- Combine the cucumber, grape tomatoes, bell pepper and lime juice with the remaining clementines to make a fruit and vegetable salsa.
- Prepare brown rice and spinach according to directions on package.
- Serve each pork chop with equal amounts of clementine salsa, 1/2 cup of brown rice and 1/2 cup of spinach.

LOved it absolutely. Made it with tofu instead of pork chops. Just sauteed the spinach with garlic & added an avocado to the salsa.

This recipe is the BOMB!! I'm not a huge pork chop fan but I gobbled this up! The salsa would taste amazing on fish as well!

Salty and sweet - delicious! Left out the chili powder and think it was probably a good call.
