-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crisscross pattern. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck breasts, skin side down, and cook for about 5 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

While the duck breasts are roasting, prepare the maple syrup vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
