Sprinkle body cavity of duck with some of the salt mixture; rub remaining mixture on the skin of the duck.
Skewer neck skin to back; tie legs to tail and twist wing tips under back. Prick skin all over with a fork.
Place duckling, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Roast in a 375 degree oven for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours or until the drumsticks move easily in their sockets and the duck is no longer pink. Spoon off fat occasionally.
Meanwhile, mix the honey and the soy sauce together.
Baste duck with honey mixture once or twice during the last 10 minutes of roasting.
Serve and Enjoy.
