How to Make Oriental Duck Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Score the skin of 2 (6-ounce) duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the duck breasts, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  4. Flip the duck breasts and cook for 1-2 minutes to brown the other side. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp grated ginger.
  6. Spoon all but 2 tablespoons of the dressing over the duck breasts.
  7. Roast the duck for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness (pink for medium-rare, longer for well-done).
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 4 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  9. In a large bowl, combine 5 oz mixed salad greens, 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), and 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions.
  10. Add the sliced duck to the salad.
  11. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve immediately.
