Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Season the pork loin with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear the pork loin for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

In the same skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat.

Add chopped onions and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Slowly whisk in chicken broth and white wine, bringing to a simmer.

Stir in heavy cream, thyme, and rosemary; cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

Add lemon juice and chopped parsley; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the sliced pork with the creamy mushroom sauce drizzled on top.
