Mix minced garlic, salt, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, chopped fresh rosemary, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil in a bowl until fully combined. Adjust the olive oil as necessary to form a paste-like consistency.
2-4 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 Tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, 2 Tablespoons lemon juice, ½ cup Olive oil
Place pork chops in a plastic zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the chops and mix them around to fully coat with the marinade.
Press the air out of the bag and lay it on a platter or baking sheet. Refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours or overnight.

Up to 6-8 pork chops can be marinated using this pork chops marinade. If you're making less, you can use a little less olive oil.
Use fresh ingredients for best results. Fresh minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and fresh lemon juice will give you the best flavor. If you want to use dried rosemary, though, you can. Use ⅓ teaspoon dried rosemary if using dried.
Marinate for longer if you have the time. It really will make a difference!
Soy sauce is not gluten-free, so if you need to make this a gluten-free marinade, swap it out for tamari or coconut aminos.
You can use Worcestershire sauce instead of soy sauce if you prefer or have it on hand.
Stone-ground mustard can be used in place of dijon mustard, but do not use yellow mustard.
Kosher salt is best for marinating meat. For best results, use it instead of fine table salt.
