Cooking Tips

• Make sure the butter is cold when cutting it into the dry ingredients to achieve a flaky texture in the biscuits.
• For extra flavor, you can add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives to the biscuit dough.
• To prevent the tuna from sticking to the skillet, make sure it is hot before adding the fish.
• Allowing the tuna to rest after cooking helps to retain its juices and ensures a tender and flavorful result.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• The seared tuna is best enjoyed immediately after cooking for optimal taste and texture.
• Serve the tuna with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
