Combine garlic salt, Cajun seasoning, roasted garlic and herb seasoning, black pepper, sweet and smoky rub, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl and mix well.

Add a little olive oil to both sides of the pork chops and rub it in to help the seasoning stick.

Generously season the pork chops with the combined seasonings and let them sit for about 5 minutes to soak up the flavors.

Crush or combine the room temperature butter, minced garlic, and parsley flakes in a bowl.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet until hot, then add the seasoned pork chops.

Cook the pork chops for about 4 minutes on one side, then flip them over.

Once flipped, add the garlic butter mixture directly on top of the pork chops and into the skillet.

Baste the pork chops with the melting garlic butter as they cook until they are nicely caramelized and cooked through.
