Ingredients
  

  • 2 duck fillets
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400℉/200℃/Gas Mark 6.
  • Remove the duck breast from the package and score the side with the fat on it in a crisscross pattern. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the duck breast fillets fat side down on a cold frying pan. Turn on the pan and bring it to a medium heat. As the pan starts to heat, the fat will begin to pull away from the fillets. Cook until the fat turns a golden colour. (Time will depend on the speed of your hob.)
  • Once the fat has turned golden, flip the duck breast fillet and fry for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and place the fillets onto a lined baking sheet, place into the oven, and cook the fillets for 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let the duck breast fillets rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Make sure that the no pink meat remains, and the juices run clear.
