  • Salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Place a frying pan on the stove and let it heat up without adding any fat.
  • Once the pan is nice and hot, place the duck breast in it skin side down.
  • Let it cook on this side for about 5 minutes.

Grind some pepper over it.

The delicious salad is ready.
