Duck Breasts with Miso-Honey Butter

4 (6-ounce) duck breasts

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons white miso

4 tablespoons honey

Heat oven to 400F. Using a sharp knife, cut a crosshatch pattern into the skin on the duck breasts. Season with salt and pepper. 

Place duck breasts skin side down in a cold skillet and turn heat to medium. Sear until skin is golden and crisp, about 9 minutes. Turn duck breasts and cook on the other side about 3 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from pan and let rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, make sauce. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in miso, then turn off heat and, while whisking, drizzle in honey. 

To serve, slice duck breasts across the grain and drizzle with sauce.
