Heat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, stir together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar (about 5 minutes).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry, then season all over with the kosher salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper (about 3 minutes).
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for 2 minutes per side, turning to brown all sides. It's ready when all sides have a browned crust.
Pour the honey-garlic mixture over the pork and transfer the skillet to the 400°F oven. Roast for 8 minutes.
Check the thickest part of the pork with an instant-read thermometer. Continue roasting briefly if needed until it reaches 145°F, then remove the skillet from the oven and rest the pork for 3 minutes. It's ready when the thickest part registers 145°F.
Slice the pork into medallions and spoon the warm honey-garlic glaze from the skillet over the slices. Scatter the sliced green onions over the top if using (about 5 minutes).
