Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Duck
Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern, making sure not to cut into the meat. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Sear the Duck
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and let rest.
Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and thyme, sautéing until fragrant. Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits. Allow to reduce by half.
Prepare the Asparagus
While the sauce is simmering, trim the asparagus and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
Plate the Dish
Slice the duck breasts and arrange them on plates. Spoon the sauce over the duck and add the asparagus. Garnish with lemon zest and chopped parsley.
