To make this dish, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 2 duck breasts
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup mint, chopped
- 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Score the skin of the duck breasts in a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season the duck breasts with salt and pepper, then place them skin-side down in a cold, dry skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook the duck for about 10 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the duck over and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the meat is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the duck from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
While the duck is cooking, prepare the salad by combining the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, mint, and roasted peanuts in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, honey, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
To serve, divide the salad among four plates and top each with slices of the crispy skin duck. Drizzle the dressing over the top of each salad and serve immediately.
This Crispy Skin Duck Salad is a perfect combination of savory and sweet flavors, with the crispy skin of the duck adding a satisfying crunch to each bite. The fresh greens and tangy dressing provide a refreshing contrast to the rich duck meat, making this dish a perfect choice for a light and healthy meal.
