Cajun Spice-Crusted Pork Loin with Mango Salsa

Recipe Follows
Cajun Spice-Crusted Pork Loin
Ingredients

• 2 pound pork loin
• 1/3 cup Emeril's Creole Seasoning (recipe follows)

Directions

1. Preheat grill on high heat
2. Rub pork loin with Creole seasoning
3. Place pork loin on hot grill, turning every 3 to 4 minutes until all sides have dark grill marks
4. Insert thermometer.  I like to use a wireless thermometer that alerts me even if I'm not watching it. Set the thermometer to alert you at 157 degrees.  
5. When the pork reaches 157 degrees remove it from the grill immediately. Place it on a cutting board or serving platter and tent it loosely with tin foil. The meat needs to rest so that the juices distribute back throughout the meat and the carryover heat will bring the internal temperature up to 160 degrees.
6. After the pork has rested for at least 5 minutes, slice into 1/2 inch slices and serve with mango salsa (recipe follows)
