Duck breast teriyaki

You don't need a special occasion to enjoy duck at home. If a whole bird is too much for a meal, or if cooking a whole bird is too much work on busy days, fully deboned duck breast is available in better groceries and supermarkets. Cooking it with teriyaki sauce is a simple way to indulge.
