Directions:
- In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, ginger powder, chili powder, salt and pepper.
- Place duck breast in a shallow dish. Score fat side of duck breast through fat down to, but not through breast meat in cross hatch pattern.
- Sprinkle dry rub evenly over duck breast and rub into meat, on both sides. Set aside.
- Mix together dressing ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Preheat skillet over medium heat. When several drops of water sprinkled in skillet skitter and dissipate, place duck breast in skillet fat side down and press down gently with turner. Place 12 in. Electric Oil Core Skillet cover slightly ajar on skillet and cook for 8 - 10 minutes until fat is crispy. Turn over and cook for an additional 6 - 8 minutes. Internal temperature should be 135°F/57°C.
- Remove duck breast, place in clean dish and cover with foil. Let rest for 10 - 15 minutes.
- Discard all duck fat from skillet. Pour dressing into skillet and cook for 3 - 4 minutes until liquid has reduced; be careful not to let it burn.
- Slice duck breast while warm into very thin slices on an angle. Serve sliced duck on top of greens, drizzle with a small amount of dressing, and top with apples.
Tips:
- Serve sliced duck with steamed jasmine rice instead of salad greens.
- To reduce the fat even further, remove fat from duck after cooking and before slicing.
