Lightly Score the skin of the Duck Breast season with salt and pepper if desired

Place the Duck Breast Skin Down straight from the fridge into a large Frying Pan ( pre-heated over a medium heat)

There is no need to use any oil as there will be sufficient fat come out of the Duck Skin.

Cook for 3-4 mins Turn and cook for a further 12 mins turning occasionally during the cooking time, until the duck is cooked through.

Remove from the pan and put aside to cool down.

If desired now is the time time to remove the skin and fat from the breast before it cools down.
