Crispy Pan-Seared Duck with Fresh Herbs
Savor the rich indulgence of perfectly cooked duck, featuring golden-brown skin that crackles with each bite. The tender, juicy meat is enhanced with aromatic fresh herbs and finished with a light pan sauce that adds brightness to this elegant dish.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounce duck breast
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Remove duck breast from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature.
Score the duck skin in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
Season both sides of the duck breast generously with salt and black pepper.
Place duck breast skin-side down in a cold, heavy-bottomed skillet.
Turn heat to medium-low and cook for 6-8 minutes, allowing the fat to render slowly until skin is golden brown and crispy.
Turn breast over and add thyme, rosemary, and garlic to the pan.
Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting occasionally with the rendered fat.
Remove duck from pan and let rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes.
Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of duck fat from the pan.
Add chicken broth to the pan and scrape up any brown bits.
Add lemon juice and olive oil, simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced.
Slice duck breast against the grain and serve with the pan sauce drizzled over top.
