Thoroughly clean the duck breasts, then score the skin in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. This helps the fat render and the skin crisp up.
Peel and finely chop the garlic. Season the duck breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Place the chopped garlic and rosemary sprigs alongside the duck breasts.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down in the hot pan. Sear for 5-6 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the duck breasts and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the meat is cooked through to your liking.
Once the duck breasts are cooked, remove them from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
Serve the pan-seared duck breast with a fresh salad or your favorite side dish.
