Instructions
Season the pork generously on both sides with salt and pepper and let rest to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
While the pork is resting, combine the strawberries, basil, balsamic vinegar, 1/3 of the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss to combine and set aside for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large oven proof skillet. Once the pan is hot, add the pork chops to the pan and sear on both sides until golden brown and caramelized, about 3 minutes each side.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cooked all the way through.
While the pork is cooking, toss the salami in with the strawberries and basil.
Top the pork chops with the strawberry basil mixture before serving. Serve together with baby spinach.

Looks like a great recipe. Why do we throw in the salami later in the progression of the recipe?

We haven't tried any of these options, but either could work.

This is delicious! I made it a few times. I started replacing the salami with feta cheese. A few more carbs but the sweet and salty is an amazing mix!

Wonderful! Like others, I replaced the salami with a bit of feta and I also put the strawberry mixture on top of the chops for the last 5 minutes in the oven. What a terrific change of taste!

Is it okay to season the pork chops and putting together the basil,strawberries, and vinegar 2-3 hours before actually making dinner?
