A delicious and elegant dish featuring succulent duck breast paired with a rich and tangy plum sauce. Perfect for a special occasion or a gourmet dinner at home.
Ingredients
- 1 piece duck breast boneless, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- 1 cup plums pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce low sodium
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch black pepper freshly ground, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Score the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the flesh.
- Season the duck breast with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breast skin-side down and sear until the skin is golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Flip the duck breast and sear the flesh side for 2 minutes, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
- Roast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes for medium-rare.
- While the duck is roasting, prepare the plum sauce. In a small saucepan, combine plums, honey, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the plums are soft and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve sliced duck breast with plum sauce drizzled over it.
