This recipe is quick and easy but impressive. The sauce is spectacularly good. Lime cuts through the rich duck perfectly and honey adds sweetness. If you don't have the arrowroot powder, not to worry, you can omit that step, or use another thickener. Serve the duck with steamed vegetables and drizzle the sauce on top.
