Seared Duck Breast with Orange Ginger Glaze
Method
Prepare the Duck: Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down and sear for 6–8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 60 ml freshly squeezed orange juice, the grated ginger, and the honey. Simmer over a low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly.
Cook the Duck: Flip the duck breasts and cook for an additional 5–6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 57°C for medium-rare. Remove from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Serve: Drizzle the orange and ginger glaze over the seared duck breasts and serve with the steamed broccoli for a balanced meal.
This Seared Duck Breast with Orange Ginger Glaze is a delightful mix of crispy, succulent duck and a sweet-spicy orange ginger glaze. The steamed broccoli provides a fresh, nutrient-dense side, making this meal both satisfying and health-conscious. Duck Thighs with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Kale
