1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

1   2 inch piece ginger, peeled and finely grated

1/4 tsp sugar

1/4cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing

Kosher salt

2 pork tenderloins (1 to 1 1/4 pounds each)

Freshly ground pepper

1/2 honeydew melon, seeded and peeled

Juice of 1 lemon

1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh mint and cilantro

1. Preheat a grill to medium high. Soak the onion a bowl of cold water. Whisk the ginger, sugar, olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
