Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Duck Breasts

Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. This will help render the fat and create a crispy skin.

2

Make the Coriander Mixture

In a bowl, combine the chopped coriander, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a paste.

3

Coat the Duck

Rub the coriander mixture all over the duck breasts, pressing it into the scores in the skin. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

4

Cook the Duck

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down and sear for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the breasts and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

5

Rest and Serve

Remove the duck breasts from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with additional coriander if desired.
