- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the duck breasts, skin side down, and sear for about 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy and brown.
- Flip the duck breasts and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your duck more well-done.
- Remove from the oven and let the duck rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced cucumber, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, thinly sliced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced ginger, and minced garlic.
- Arrange the sliced duck on top of the salad.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and duck.
- Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts on top for some crunch.
- Garnish the salad with fresh cilantro leaves.Enjoy your delicious Honey Soy Duck Salad!
