Grilled Honey-Ginger Pork Tenderloin

What can I say, I saw this recipe in the back of my Cooking Light and it inspired me to cook it!  Of course I made changes to the recipe, I always alter it to my taste...It's a good one and it's a keeper! P.S.  Don't over cook your pork, you can eat it at medium to medium-well these days or at 145 degrees.

Mix the basting sauce first by combining the ginger, honey, lemon juice and soy sauce in a bowl stirring until all incorporated.  

Heat grill pan (or regular skillet) over high heat until screaming hot, then reduce to medium. Meantime, sprinkle pork with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper.  Place pork in the hot pan and brown the first side, 2-3 minutes.  Turn and start the basting process.  Baste the brown side and then turn again at 2-3 minutes.  

Continue the basting process and turning until tenderloin reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees.  

Remove from pan and let stand 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Is this juicy or what?
