2/3cupchopped pecans
2tablespoonsdiced red onion
2tablespoonschopped fresh basil
1teaspoonminced jalapeno peppermore if you want it spicier

Instructions
Season the pork chops with the 3/4 teaspoon salt and a very light shower of black pepper.
Get your grill or grill pan going over a medium-high flame/heat. Lay down the pork chops and cook until nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Flip the chops and continue to cook until the center registers 135 degrees F, another 5 or 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let rest for at least 5 minutes (the interior temperature will continue to rise).
While the chops cook, assemble the salsa in a small bowl by gently stirring together the peaches, pecans, onion, basil, jalapeno, lime juice, and remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt.
To serve, spoon a generous amount of salsa on top of each chop, with remaining salsa on the side.
