Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, olive oil, black pepper, salt, and water to create a marinade.
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin. Place the pork into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the pork marinate for at least 30 minutes (best if marinated up to 8 hours in the refrigerator).
Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and place it into a baking dish. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Bake the pork tenderloin in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer.
While the pork is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat and then simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glaze.
Once the pork tenderloin is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork into medallions, drizzle the thickened glaze over the top, and serve warm.
