Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook honey and salt until thin and runny, then mix in almonds until coated. Add sugar and toss to coat. Spread nuts on baking sheet (lined with parchment paper) and bake, stirring once, until deeply golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let nuts cool, then break up clumps with your fingers.
- In a medium pot on medium-high heat, bring six cups salted water to boil. Fill a medium bowl with ice water. Cook green beans until bright green and tender, 2 to 4 minutes depending on thickness of beans. Drain, then plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Drain and pat dry.
- Raise oven heat to 400 degrees. Using a sharp knife, score duck fat into a crosshatch pattern, with cuts a half-inch apart. You want to cut through fat but not into flesh of duck.
- In a small bowl, mix salt, chili, pepper, cumin and cinnamon. Rub mix all over duck, working it into the fat.
- Set an ovenproof pan on the stove over medium-low heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil, heat for a few seconds, then add duck, fat side down. Sear without moving until dark brown, about 10 minutes (if it starts to burn, lower the heat). Flip duck and cook for 1 minute, then transfer pan to oven and roast until meat is done to taste, 4 to 8 minutes longer for medium rare (130 degrees). Let duck rest on a cutting board. Reserve 2 tablespoons of fat from pan.
- Using mortar and pestle or side of a heavy knife, make a paste from garlic and a pinch of salt. In a small bowl, mix it with lime juice and a half-teaspoon salt, then drizzle in remaining olive oil, whisking well.
- In a large bowl, toss green beans and watercress with reserved pan drippings and just enough of dressing to coat. Taste and add salt if desired.
- Slice duck breasts and toss with salad. Garnish with almonds and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right green beans: Look for fresh, vibrant green beans that snap when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Trim the ends of the green beans, removing any tough or woody stems.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps to preserve their color and crispness. Plunge them into ice water immediately after blanching to stop the cooking process.
- Use a hot pan: Make sure your pan is hot before adding the green beans. This will help to create a crispy exterior.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the green beans in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Season the green beans: Season the green beans with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter for extra flavor.
- Cook the green beans until crispy: Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will become mushy.
