Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat the 2 duck breasts dry with paper towels and score the skin in a crosshatch pattern, cutting through fat but not meat. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
In a small food processor, combine 2 shallots (peeled and quartered), 3 garlic cloves, 1 inch ginger (peeled and chopped), and 1 teaspoon ground coriander. Pulse until a coarse paste forms, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Rub the spice paste all over the duck breasts, pressing it into the scored skin. Place them skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Step 4
Roast for 20-25 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 5
Slice the duck thinly and sprinkle with the 1/4 cup chopped cilantro before serving.
