Roast the duck breasts, skin-side down, in two pans for 20 minutes. Drain most of the fat and turn the duck breasts over, then roast the flesh side down for 4 minutes over high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Place skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Place in a cold oven and set the oven to 175°C (top/bottom heat). Mix together the honey, mustard, and cayenne pepper or sambal oelek. Brush the skin with this mixture and roast for a total of 30 minutes. Slice diagonally and serve. Serve with roasted potatoes. By placing the fillets in a cold oven, they cook at a slow temperature, only reaching the full 175°C at the end. They stay very juicy.
