Duck Breast With Lime and Honey
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
- 1 whole Duck Breast
- 1/2 whole Lime
- 3 Tablespoons Liquid Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Thyme, Divided Use
- 1 whole Zucchini, Sliced
- Begin by heating up only 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- While the oil is heating, make four shallow slits in the fatty side of the duck breast.
- Turn it over to the meaty side and make 4 to 5 slits around a centimeter deep...this is where we will add the lime wedges.
- When the oil is hot, place the duck filet in the pan fat side down and let it brown for less than a minute.
- Flip it and quickly brown it on the meaty side for less than a minute.
- Transfer the duck breast into a baking pan and smear it with the honey.
- Slice the lime into wedges and cut those wedges in half.
- Wedge one into each of the slits in the top of the duck (the meaty side).
- Sprinkle the whole thing with half of the thyme and put it in the oven at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, add the rest of the oil into the pan over medium heat.
- Then add the slices of zucchini.
- Sprinkle them with the rest of the thyme and flip them 2 or three times.
- They should take 3-5 minutes maximum.
- When done they should be slightly brown on each side, or at least a little translucent.
- Place the zucchini on a plate and place the finished duck on top.
- Pour the honey drippings from the pan onto the duck.
