preheat oven to gas 7. Score the skin of the duck breasts in a cross cross fashion, salt well, and leave for 15 minutes.
place a large frying pan over a medium heat, and add olive oil. Place duck breasts skin-side down and seal for a minute or two until lightly browned. Turn over to seal the flesh, then place in the oven for approx 15 minutes until pink. Remove, and let them rest for 5-10 minutes, loosely covered with foil.
put the frying pan over medium heat, pouring off any excess oil, then add water, pomegranate molasses and cinnamon. Reduce for a minute, then season. Slice each breast into three to four pieces and pour the sauce over.
