Duck Breast and Marinade
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Duck
Score the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Make the Marinade
In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and fresh thyme leaves. Set aside.
- 3
Pan Sear the Duck
Place the duck breasts skin-side down in a cold, dry skillet. Turn the heat to medium and slowly render the fat from the skin. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- 4
Finish Cooking
Flip the duck breasts and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium rare, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
- 5
Glaze the Duck
Brush the duck breasts with the maple syrup mixture during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
- 6
Slice and Serve
Slice the duck breast against the grain and serve with any remaining glaze drizzled over the top.
