Duck 4 Dinner

I have to say it was delicious! Nat would not eat it.
Emeril Lagasse's Recipe...

3 duck breast
Essence
1 Tablespoon Olive oil

Essence:
2 1/2 Tablespoons Paprika
2 Tablespoons Salt
2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
1 Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper
1 Tablespoon Dried Leaf Oregano
1 Tablespoon Dried Thyme

Pre-heat oven to 400
Season the entire duck breast with essence
In a large sauce pan over medium heat, add the olive oil
When oil is hot, add the duck breast, skin side down
Sear 6 minutes
Flip the duck breast over
Place the pan in the oven
Roast the duck 8-10 minutes for medium rare
Remove pan from oven
Allow duck to rest 2-3 minutes
Slice duck on bias

our improvised changes to the recipe:
I tossed finely chopped onion into the pan when searing because I was out of onion powder.
I forgot the cayenne!!!
Our power was out so...It was done on the grill side burner and in the grill (acting as the oven).
