Ingredients
- 300 g duck fillets (two fillets)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Score the skin of the duck fillets with a sharp knife in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat too deeply. This helps the fat render and the skin to become crispy during roasting.
- Season both sides of the duck fillets with salt and pepper.
- Place the duck fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the fillets are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the duck marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. You can marinate it longer for more flavor.
- Heat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the duck fillets, skin side down, and sear for about 2-3 minutes until the skin becomes golden and crispy.
- Flip the duck fillets over and sear the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet with the duck fillets to the preheated oven and roast for about 12 minutes for medium-rare doneness. If you prefer your duck more well-done, you can roast it for a few minutes longer.
- Remove the duck fillets from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Slice the roasted duck fillets into thin pieces and serve drizzled with any remaining marinade. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired.Enjoy your delicious roasted honey duck fillet!
