Prepare the Ingredients
-
Shuck corn and rinse. Peel and finely mince shallot. Stem thyme. Stem parsley. Pat pork chops dry.
-
Heat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Season pork chops on both sides with half the smoked sea salt (reserve remaining for corn) and a pinch of pepper. Add pork chops to hot grill and cook until browned and chops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 7-8 minutes. Remove to a plate and rest at least 5 minutes.
-
Keep grill pan at medium-high heat and spray again with cooking spray. Place corn on grill and rotate occasionally until corn is bright yellow and showing char marks, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from grill and set aside.
-
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and shallots (to taste) to hot pan and cook until aromatic and slightly translucent, 1-2 minutes. Add white cooking wine and cook 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in Dijon mustard (start with half, taste, and add more as desired), half the cream, and thyme. Cook until sauce is combined and slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season with a pinch of pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
-
Top corn with butter and a sprinkle of remaining smoked sea salt.
-
Place corn on a plate. Lay a pork chop next to corn and ladle Dijon-cream sauce over pork. Garnish with parsley leaves and a pinch of pepper.
