Ready In
- Mix together salt and water. Set aside 2/3 of the mixture, and pour the rest into a glass baking dish. Soak the duck in the salt water overnight to remove the gamey. Change the salt water twice, or until mostly clear.
- The next morning, discard the salt water, and pour salad dressing over the duck breasts, and marinate for at least 8 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Wrap each breast half in one strip of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Place the breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake for about 1 hour, or until bacon is crisp, and duck is cooked through.
Footnotes
- On the grill
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill duck breasts for about 30 minutes, turning once.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.

I tweeked this a bit; first, we raise our own domestic ducks, and we enjoy the flavor of duck. So I don't soak the meat to remove any flavor from it, nor do I marinate it in anything. I use th...
