										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love duck in all its fatty, succulent gamey glory! Cast iron skillet-seared duck breast is my favorite fast-and-easy weekday dinner for one.</p>
<p>My favorite purveyor for duck breast is an advocate of natural and sustainable farming practices, to which I have local access, but you can also order duck breast online.</p>
<p>Here, I pair seared duck breast with braised organic kale, organic mixed greens with a shallot vinaigrette and a few slices of avocado.</p>
<p>My quick and easy recipe below.  Enjoy!<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Simple Seared Duck Breast</strong></h3>
<h4><em><strong>Serves 1 to 2</strong></em></h4>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Prepare the duck breast</span>:</em></strong><br />
1 fresh magret duck breast<br />
Celtic sea salt to taste</p>
<p>Season duck breast with Celtic sea salt on both sides. Using a serrated knife, score the fatty side of the duck breast.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-12424" src="https://thenourishedepicurean.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Raw-Duck-breast-1024x768.jpg" alt="kathryn matthews | The Nourished Epicurean" width="1024" height="768" srcset="https://thenourishedepicurean.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Raw-Duck-breast-980x735.jpg 980w, https://thenourishedepicurean.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Raw-Duck-breast-480x360.jpg 480w" sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw" /><br />
Over medium-high heat, use tongs to sear the magret on its fatty side first, in a cast iron skillet for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes (be careful to brown, not burn!).</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-12425" src="https://thenourishedepicurean.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Duck-breast-in-cast-iron-skillet-1024x768.jpg" alt="kathryn matthews | The Nourished Epicurean" width="1024" height="768" srcset="https://thenourishedepicurean.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Duck-breast-in-cast-iron-skillet-980x735.jpg 980w, https://thenourishedepicurean.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Duck-breast-in-cast-iron-skillet-480x360.jpg 480w" sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw" /></p>
<p>Turn breast over and sear another 1-1/2 minutes. Lower heat to medium, if necessary.</p>
<p>Reduce heat to low. Turn the duck breast on its fatty side and cook—<strong>covered</strong>—for 5 minutes.  Flip to its other side, and cook, <strong>covered,</strong> another 5 minutes (or until a meat thermometer registers 140 to 145 degrees).</p>
<p>Remove duck breast from the skillet and let rest 5 minutes or longer. Slice.</p>
<p><em><strong>Note:</strong></em> <em>During cooking, the duck breast will release a lot of fat. I save this fat in a small glass jar, refrigerate it, and use as a cooking fat.</em></p>
