This is a summery version of the old classic, using chilli and fennel to spice up a sweet vegetable salad.

Method
Using a sharp knife, score the skin of each duck breast in a close criss-cross pattern. Put the orange zest and juice, chillies and half the oil in a bowl, add the duck breasts, coat them with the marinade, cover and leave for 1 hour.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan. Take the duck from the marinade (keep the marinade) and put it into the pan, skin-side down. Fry for 5
