Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss them on the baking sheet with half of the olive oil, half the salt, and half the pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Pat the pork chop dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the remaining salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the pork chop in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the pan, being careful not to burn it.
Remove the pork from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the roasted asparagus with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
