How to Cook Perfect Duck Breast | Gordon Ramsay Recipe
Learn how to cook the perfect duck breast with this easy recipe from Gordon Ramsay. First, preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Season the duck breasts with salt and pepper, using the salt to extract water from the fat. In a nonstick pan, start cooking the duck breasts cold, with the skin side down. Gradually increase the heat to release the fat. This ensures crispy skin and renders down the fat. Once the fat comes out, turn the duck over and seal it in high heat. Transfer the duck breasts to the preheated oven and cook for 6 to 8 minutes. After cooking, allow the duck breasts to rest before slicing. Save the excess duck fat for other recipes, like sautéing potatoes. Slice the duck at an angle, not too thin, to keep it warm. Enjoy the delicious flavors of perfectly cooked, crispy-skinned duck breast.
