This honey-mustard glazed duck breast is a restaurant-worthy weeknight dinner with crisp, golden skin and a sweet, savory glaze. The simple honey, Dijon and soy marinade does most of the work, so the dish feels special without a long ingredient list.

Ingredients
- 2 duck breasts
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Mix everything, rub the breasts well and refrigerate for 2 days.
- Place skin-side up in a dish and roast at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes.
Tips
- Pat the skin very dry before roasting for the crispiest finish, and score it lightly if you like extra crunch.
- Let the duck rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing so the juices stay in the meat.
- For more guidance on cooking poultry safely, see the USDA and, for technique inspiration, Serious Eats.
