Ingredients

• 2 duck breasts

2. Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern (don’t cut into the meat). Season lightly with black pepper.

3. Place duck breasts skin-side up in a baking dish. Bake 18–25 minutes (timing depends on thickness) until internal temperature reaches about 135–140°F (≈57- 60ºC) for medium-rare or your preferred doneness.

4. Remove duck and let it rest for 5–10 minutes.

5. While it rests, make the glaze: in a small saucepan, whisk together juice, zest, kōme shōyu, honey, and olive oil. Simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
