Ingredients

2 duck breasts skin-on
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

Prepare the Duck Breasts:

Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels.
Using a sharp knife, score the skin in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
Season both sides with salt.

Air Fry the Duck Breasts:

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Place the duck breasts skin-side up in the air fryer basket.
Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

Rest and Serve:

Remove the duck breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, allowing the flavors to infuse for 2 minutes.
Slice the duck breasts thinly against the grain.
Drizzle the infused butter over the slices and serve immediately.
