Italian Roasted Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients:
1 tsp olive or vegetable oil
½ tsp salt
½ tsp fennel seed, crushed
¼ tsp pepper
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 pork tenderloins, about ¾ lb each

1. Heat oven to 450° F. Spray shallow roating pan with cooking spray.
2. Mash all ingredients except pork into paste. Rub paste on pork. Place pork in pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of pork.
3. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until thermometer reads 160°F.

I can't always find good pork tenderloin pieces here, so I have made this same rub and put it on different types of pork, just adjusting cooking time.
