Method

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Score the duck¹ skin in a crosshatch pattern with shallow cuts—don’t slice into the meat.

2. Season the breast with salt and pepper, then place skin-side down in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat for 7–8 minutes until fat renders and skin turns golden brown.

3. Flip the breast and sear the meat side for 1 minute.

4. Transfer to a baking dish and roast at 375°F (190°C) for 8 minutes until the center reaches 145°F (63°C) or juices run clear.

5. Mix the juice of half an orange², honey, and soy sauce in a skillet. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

6. Whisk in butter⁵, slice the duck¹ after resting for 5 minutes, and drizzle with the glaze. Serve with orange² slices.
