1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Stir together the kosher salt, dried oregano, black pepper and dried thyme in a small bowl.

2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry. Rub it with a portion of the vegetable oil, then coat it all over with the spice mixture, adding more salt and pepper if needed.

3. Set the pork on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.

4. Toss the halved figs and sliced pear with the remaining vegetable oil and a pinch of the spice mixture.

5. Scatter the figs and pear around the pork and roast 12 to 15 minutes more, until the thickest part of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fruit is tender.

6. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and rest for 3 minutes. Slice it and serve with the roasted figs and pear.
