Hi everyone! My name is Cassandra and I am here to share a lovely Roasted Pork Loin with Fennel Salt dinner recipe with all of you. The fennel in this recipe really elevates this roast pork and the spices infuse the meat.  I also recommend that you try to find a free-range cut of pork loin which is scored and tied up. Pork is meat that I like to spend a little extra on for a quality cut.

Roast vegetables are a must alongside this tasty dish. I personally love roasted carrots, pumpkin, and potatoes. Place your pork on top and use the juices of the meat to add a flavorful hit to the vegetables and to keep the pork cooking evenly.
