- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to score the skin of the duck breasts before cooking to ensure a crispy skin.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the duck from sticking to the pan.
- Let the duck rest for a few minutes before slicing to ensure the juices are distributed evenly.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Score the skin of the duck breasts in a criss-cross pattern and season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the duck breasts skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
4. Flip the duck breasts over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Transfer the duck breasts to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until cooked to your desired doneness.
6. While the duck is cooking, prepare the plum relish. In a small saucepan, combine the plum jam, red wine vinegar, water, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the mixture has thickened.
7. Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. Serve the duck with the plum relish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
