Roasted Pork with Brussel Sprouts

Copied from Real Simple's website

Ingredients:
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-1 1 pork tenderloin (1 1/4 pounds)
-kosher salt and black pepper
-12 ounces Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
-1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
-2 tablespoons roasted unsalted almonds, chopped

Directions:
1) Heat oven to 400º F. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the skillet to oven and roast until the pork is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Let rest before slicing.
2) Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a second large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts, apricots, almonds, 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper and cook, tossing, until the Brussels sprouts are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with the pork.
