Crisp Pork Medallions with Creamy Caper Sauce
['2/3 cup plain yogurt (6 ounces; preferably whole-milk)', '3 tablespoons mayonnaise', '2 tablespoons drained bottled capers, finely chopped', '1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley', '1/8 teaspoon black pepper', '1 1/2 to 1 3/4 lb pork tenderloin', '3/4 cup all-purpose flour', '1 teaspoon salt', '1/4 teaspoon black pepper', '2 large eggs', '1 cup fine dry bread crumbs', 'About 1 cup vegetable oil for panfrying', 'Accompaniment: lemon wedges; watercress or other baby greens', 'an instant-read thermometer']
Stir together all sauce ingredients in a bowl until combined, then chill, covered, until ready to use.
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut pork crosswise into 1 1/4-inch-thick slices (medallions).
Whisk together flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
Whisk together eggs with a pinch of salt in another shallow bowl and put bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Working with 1 medallion at a time, dredge medallions in flour, shaking off excess, and dip in egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with crumbs, pressing to help them adhere. Arrange pork in 1 layer on a baking sheet.
Heat 1/4 inch oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then panfry medallions, turning over once, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a clean baking sheet and roast in oven until thermometer inserted horizontally into center of meat registers 145 to 150°F, 6 to 7 minutes.
Serve pork with sauce, lemon wedges, and watercress.
