Directions

Duck preparation:

1
Score skin in 1/4" intervals, making a criss-cross pattern. Over low to medium-low heat, place breast skin side down for approximately 8-12 minutes (or until fat is rendered and skin is crisp and brown.) Place breasts in a 400° oven for 3-4 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 155°. Remove from oven and let rest 3-4 minutes.
2
Remove skin and discard; chill meat.
3
Thinly slice duck breast, slicing across the grain.

Dressing:

1
In a medium bowl combine yogurt and mayonnaise. Stir in currants, green onion, almonds, ginger and zest. Salt to taste.
2
Slice croissants in half horizontally. Arrange sliced duck breast on one half of croissant. Drizzle duck with 2 tablespoons orange-currant dressing. Top with greens and croissant half. Serve immediately or wrap and refrigerate up to 4 hours.
