Score the skin
Place one duck breast on the chopping board, skin-side up. Using a sharp knife and being careful not to cut into the meat under the skin, lightly slice into the skin at a 45° angle in ¼” intervals. Rotate the duck breast on the chopping board and repeat the scoring process in the opposite direction, making a cross-hatch pattern in the skin. Repeat with the other duck breast.

Finish the glaze
Whisking constantly, add the glaze base to the pan. Allow the glaze to come to a boil, then simmer until thickened and slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Rest and slice the duck
Remove the duck from the June Oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing crosswise across the grain. Just before serving, drizzle the glaze over the sliced duck and garnish with chopped cilantro.
