FP,
did you brine it first?  if not it will be a little rich.  What type of duck.  Diver ducks tend to be fishier than puddle ducks?  marinate in red wine.. hmmm add a little salt and pepper... pand seared would be good.. remember to cook it though.. unlike deer and beef don't want to eat it medium rare as it is still poultry....
temp should be 160-165 ...
pan seared served with some wild rice and veggies.... and as for a sauce I would maybe take some red wine and quartered mushroom salt and pepper to taste...and sautee with some thyme.. The thyme will really make the sauce pop .... trust me on that...let it reduce and then pour the reduction on top but get some wild rice if possible it pairs really nice with duck ......or even a wild white rice medley.. any way let us know how it turns out...

Now if you happen to have a nice Scovite, scovy duck, I would suggest salt, pepper, rosemary, and a little orange rubbed on the inside. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Remove and let rest. Break down and place back in a 450F oven for 3 minutes.

yeah I brined overnight....and it is a plump breasted corn fed green head...( the one on the far right in my pics to be exact)..not many divers around my lease..all mallards...I guess I will try that..i read something about marinating in red wine so I thought I'd go for it..and I was gonna cook it medium..the cookbook I have for wild game says to grill the goose breasts like a steak and let it a lil pink inside...who knows...I'll try to post a pic later

Maybe slice them thin, thread the pieces on a bamboo skewer and grill.   That's what I usually do with marinated goose breasts.

When I used to cook a whole mallard, I would stuff the cavity with slices of lemons and oranges, toothpick some bacon strips over the breasts, put it in an oven roasting bag and slow bake it.

I saute 2" thin strips of duck breast in butter, garlic and oregano, then lay a few strips of pepperjack &  shredded cheddar over the breasts just as they're about done.

Ducks can have a thick layer of fat on the breast, which can prevent the skin from getting crispy. If you marinate( I like teriyaki and port wine) it make sure you dry it off really well before pan roasting. Score the skin a little but not to deep,season it, and start it skin side down in a COLD pan(like you cook bacon). Let the duck heat up with the pan.This will let some of the fat render off before the meat starts to cook.Flip it, cook for another min. or two and shoot it in a hot (450) oven for a few more mins to finish cooking and crisp up the skin.When you take it out, put it on a plate and let it rest while you deglaze the pan and make your sauce.If you deglaze with the duck in the pan the skin will get soggy.This will work with a fat goose too. you just need a little more cook time. ----JC

I usually skin mine when I breast them out.....  FP, try orange next time over lemon.. lemon is better on chicken, cornish hens etc.. when it comes to fowl.. orange on duck and goose is the way to go.  and Bruce..  that sounds good too.. cheese and quackers.. that is funny...but I do think duck is better than goose.....especially a black duck or woody or teal......but green heads will do also..... I grill mine 99% of the time and make the sauce up as the meat rests or along side the grill...
