thanks heaps for the recipes and ideas Cailin!!

I ended up making my own version of 5 spice with star anise, cinnamon, fennel ginger, cumin and pepper.... all mixed with salt.

Then I made a kinda salt crust on the skin on the duck fillet and pan fried it like that.

The salt crust turned out great!

Will be keen to try some of the other recipe ideas you sent too!
