Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 25 minutes

Total: 40 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 duck breasts
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 cups mixed greens
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 orange, segmented
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Score the skin of the duck breasts and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is browned and crispy. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, chopped walnuts, and orange segments.
In a small jar, combine the olive oil, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Shake well to emulsify the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Slice the duck breasts and arrange on top of the salad. Serve warm.
