This duck with orange sauce (duck a l'orange) is a classic French recipe of pan-seared duck breasts and orange sauce! Juicy duck breasts are scored on their fatty side, seared to perfection, then oven-finished until they reach the perfect medium-rare.

Magret de Canard, or duck breast is from a domestic duck, not wild, and is treated the same as a fine steak.

Living in the land of foie gras we have duck breast readily available (they have to do something with the rest of the duck, after all!).

These pies are a perfect side dish for fish, duck breasts as well as fresh scallops.
