Roasted Duck Breast with Plum Sauce Recipe

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Score the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern and season with salt and pepper.

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.

Place the duck breasts, skin side down, in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden brown.

Flip the duck breasts and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Roast for 12-15 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

Remove the duck from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

In a small saucepan, combine the plum sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Heat over medium-low heat until warmed through.

Slice the duck breast and serve with the plum sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
