Ingredients

Servings:2
  • Duck breast(2)
  • Orange(2)
  • Fennel(1)
  • Arugula(80 g)
  • Radish(4)
  • Dijon Mustard(2 tsp)
  • Balsamic Glaze(1 tbsp)
  • Olive oil(2 tbsp)
  • Honey(2 tsp)
  • Flat Leaf Parsley(10 g)
  • Salt(1 tsp)
  • Black pepper(1 tsp)

Method

  1. 1

    Pat the {Duck breast} dry and score the skin in a shallow crosshatch without cutting into the meat. Season all over with half the {Salt} and half the {Black pepper}.

    ~5 min

  2. 2

    Trim the {Fennel} and slice it very thinly. Peel and segment both {Orange}, catching any juice in a bowl. Thinly slice the {Radish} and roughly chop the {Fresh parsley}.

    ~8 min

  3. 3

    Whisk the reserved orange juice with the {Dijon Mustard}, {Balsamic vinegar}, {Olive oil}, {Honey}, remaining {Salt}, and remaining {Black pepper} until glossy.

    ~5 min

  4. 4

    Place the {Duck breast} skin-side down in a cold pan. Set over medium heat and cook slowly until the skin is golden and much of the fat has rendered, 10 minutes. Flip and cook for 4 minutes more for medium. Transfer to a board.

    ~14 min

  5. 5

    Rest the duck for 5 minutes. Meanwhile toss the {Arugula}, sliced {Fennel}, {Radish}, orange segments, and half the {Fresh parsley} with enough dressing to lightly coat.

    ~5 min

  6. 6

    Pile the salad onto plates. Slice the rested {Duck breast} and arrange it over the top. Spoon over a little more dressing and finish with the remaining {Fresh parsley}.

    ~3 min
