    Preparation Steps

    1

    Prepare the duck breasts by scoring the skin in a crosshatch pattern. This will help the fat render and crisp up beautifully during cooking.

    2

    Zest the oranges and then juice them. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, orange juice, and balsamic vinegar.

    3

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

    4

    Add the orange-honey mixture to the skillet and simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.

    5

    Meanwhile, cook the duck breasts skin-side down in a separate pan over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until medium-rare.

    6

    Transfer the duck breasts to the skillet with the orange sauce, allowing the meat to absorb the flavors. Spoon the sauce over the duck breasts and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.

    7

    Serve the duck breast with the orange sauce, alongside fresh vegetables or your favorite side dish.
