Seared Duck Breasts with Raspberry-Honey Glaze Recipe
- 1 pound boneless, skin-on duck breasts
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup honey
- Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels and place them on a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, score a 1/2-inch-wide diamond pattern through the skin and fat of the breasts (dont cut more than 1/4 inch deep).
- Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot, about 4 minutes.
- Add the duck skin-side down and cook undisturbed until the skin is crisp and golden brown, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium, flip the duck, and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees F, about 3 minutes more.
- Transfer to a clean cutting board or plate and tent loosely with foil; set aside.
- Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the skillet.
- Add the raspberries and honey and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries start to break down and the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a small heatproof bowl, taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve the sauce with the duck.
