Preparation method

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (top/bottom heat).

Score the skin of the duck breasts crosswise with a sharp knife. Be careful not to cut into the meat. Generously salt the skin side and gently massage the salt in. Lightly salt the meat side as well.

Heat a pan without fat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down in the cold pan (the pieces should not touch) and sear for approx. 6 minutes over medium heat. Continuously spoon the rendered fat over the meat.
