Method
To make the blood orange sauce, combine the water and honey in a small pan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally for 5-6 mins.
Add in the oranges slices, fish sauce, star anise and cinnamon. Simmer for a further 5 mins to infuse. Stir through the lime juice and remove from the heat. Keep warm.
Meanwhile for the duck, pre-heat the oven to 190 degrees C. Remove the duck from the pack and place skin side up on a lined baking tray. Sprinkle with 5 Spice powder and roast in the oven for 15-20 mins, or until golden and crisp.
Allow to rest for 5 mins before placing onto a serving platter. Drizzle over the blood orange sauce and garnish with coriander. Serve with steamed rice and Asian greens.
