- Make the brine: Mix water, maple syrup, salt, garlic, ginger, black pepper rosemary, and red pepper flakes together in a large stainless steel bowl.
- Start the pork: Place pork loin in brine, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or up to 10 hours at most.
- Remove pork from brine; discard brine. Pat pork dry and season all over with salt and black pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Heat vegetable oil in an oven-proof skillet over high heat. Add pork and turn to brown on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast until pork is browned, about 40 minutes.
- Mix maple syrup and Dijon together in a small bowl; spread mixture all over top and sides of roast. Continue to cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
