Duck Breast Recipe: Sweet and Savory Dish

Ingredients:

• 2 duck breasts, skin on
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• Ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Score the skin of the duck breast in a criss-cross pattern being careful not to cut into the meat. This will help the fat to render and create a crispy skin. Season the duck breast with pepper and set aside.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and garlic until well-combined. Set aside.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, add the duck breasts skin-side down and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the skin is crispy. Turn the duck breasts over and cook for another 2-3 minutes for a medium rare finish. Remove from the skillet and let the duck breasts rest for a few minutes.
4. While the duck breasts are resting, add the soy sauce mixture to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Slice the duck breasts diagonally and plate. Drizzle the sauce over the duck breasts.
