Adobo-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

This recipe is so good you'd never believe it's healthy. I just made it for dinner and it's mouth watering!

24 oz. pork tenderloin, trimmed, cut into 3 or 4 oz. pieces
6 Tbsp paprika
2 Tbps freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp coarse salt
1 Tbsp chili powder
3 pinches cayenne pepper
1/2 cup arugula, loosely packed.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix paprika, black pepper, salt, chili powder and cayenne together in a bowl. Thoroughly rub both sides of each piece of pork with spice mixture. Heat an oven safe skillet over medium-high heat and pan-sear each piece of pork on both sides until golden brown. Pan-searing seals in the meat's juices. Transfer pan to oven until pork is completely done (6-8 min. for each inch of thickness)

The rub is enough for two separate dishes so I saved the rest in a small sealed container since I will definitely make this again and again.
