Walnut-crusted pork with maple and mustard pears

I made a first-round attempt at this on the weekend, and the following represents the conclusions my partner (who is more accustomed to roasting pork than I) and I came to about getting it right next time. The base recipe I was working from was this one, from the promotional food magazine in the grocery store, but I added the walnuts and assorted other bits and bobs.

I served this with a side of kale sautéed with bacon, because in for a pig in for a... bacon?
