Take a clean knife and create shallow cuts in the skin of the duck breast about 0.25 inches (0.64cm) apart from one another. Turn the duck breast 90 degrees and create more cuts so that you've created a crisscross pattern. Only cut the skin, not the actual meatcuts should just be on the top layer. Since the fat is under the skin, scoring the skin helps the fat be released. Pat down the duck breast with a clean paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Season both sides of the duck breast evenly using your choice of seasoning. Salt and pepper are commonly used to season duck breast, or you can use a store-bought special seasoning. You don't need to be fully cooking the duck breast yetjust heating it up enough for the fat to drain out. Turn on the stove before placing the duck breast in the pan. The pan should be at roughly 325F (163C). You want the scored side of the duck breast to be the one being seared. Use a nonstick pan to keep the duck breast from sticking.
