- 1
Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern, then season generously with salt and pepper.
- 2
Place the duck breasts skin-side down in a cold skillet, then turn the heat to medium to allow them to brown gradually.
- 3
Once the skin is golden and crispy, flip the duck breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Finish cooking for 6-8 minutes in an oven preheated to 356°F, then let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: heat the diced mango, passion fruit pulp, honey, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and grated ginger in a saucepan.

Let the sauce reduce for 5-7 minutes over medium heat. Remove from heat, stir in the butter, and adjust seasoning to taste.
💡 Chef's Tip
Score the duck skin to achieve a crispier texture. Starting the duck skin-side down in a cold pan allows the fat to render out gradually. Do not overcook the duck to ensure it remains medium-rare at the center.
