Ingredients

2 duck breasts
100g marmalade
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame seeds
A small bag of herb leaf salad

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. Slash the skin of the duck breasts in a criss-cross pattern, season and sear in a hot frying pan over a high heat for 2 min each side.
Meanwhile, in a small roasting tin, mix the marmalade, soy sauce and sesame seeds. Add the duck and turn to coat.
Roast for 8-10 min in the oven, until golden and still a little pink in the middle. Rest for 5 min, then thickly slice.
Divide the salad between 2 shallow bowls, top with the duck and drizzle over the pan juices. Serve with orange wedges, if you like.
