Cajun Pork Tenderloin with Tropical Salsa

Many Cajun seasonings list salt as the first ingredient on the label. Try to avoid buying one of those, if possible. It’s much better to be able to season your food as much as you like without it being overloaded with salt, especially if you’re like me and like spicy or super-flavorful food. This recipe is great with pretty much any tropical salsa, so just pick one that seems good to you. I definitely prefer the fresh ones that are most often found in the produce section of grocery stores. But if it’s inconvenient to hunt one of those down, you can use a jarred one.
