    1. Take the duck breast, rinse it well, and pat it slightly dry. Lay it on a cutting board and score the skin several times with a sharp knife, taking care not to cut into the meat itself. For flavor, sprinkle with dry spices (black pepper and basil work well) and season with salt to taste.
    1. Set a heavy-bottomed skillet over the heat. Add the vegetable oil—or olive oil, if you prefer. Once the pan is good and hot, lay the breast in skin-side down. As soon as a nice browned crust forms, flip it to the other side. It's easy to check for doneness: prick the meat, and if no pink juices run out, it's ready.
    1. While the breast cooks, make the sauce. Pour the dry white wine into a saucepan and add the orange juice and grated orange zest. Add the rinsed berries—any tart berry works, though I prefer lingonberries. Reduce the sauce by half, then stir in the honey; once it dissolves, take the sauce off the heat.
    1. Slice the breast into portions with a sharp knife, arrange on a nice serving plate, and spoon the honey-orange sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.
