Marinate the tenderloin for 3 hours to get more flavorful meat. If you have extra time, mix marinade ingredients in a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloin and seal the bag so the meat is coated in the marinade. Then, refrigerate the bag with the pork for at least 3 hours or up to overnight before you remove the pork and roast it in the oven. To make a lemon-herb marinade combine: Zest from 1/2 lemon
1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of olive oil
2⁄3 cup (160 ml) of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon (8 g) of minced garlic
2 teaspoons (3 g) of freshly minced rosemary leaves
1/2 tablespoon (1 g) of fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon (5 g) of Dijon mustard
