Start by preparing a marinade with fresh garlic, lemon, lime, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Chop fresh thyme and rosemary, adding them to the marinade.

Marinate the duck breasts in the marinade for about 6-7 hours, but do not exceed 24 hours to avoid cooking the meat with the citrus.

Remove the duck breasts from the marinade and place them skin side up in an oven-safe skillet.

Top the duck breasts with additional chopped herbs and slices of lemon and lime.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the skillet with the duck breasts in the preheated oven and roast for about 7-8 minutes.

Remove the duck from the oven and serve with green beans, squeezing fresh lemon juice over the dish.
