1 In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, salt, and pepper and cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook, whisking often, until the sauce thickens slightly (enough to coat the back of a spoon), about 15 minutes.
2 Stir in the peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peas are bright green, about 1 minute. Gently fold in the tuna and dill and cook, stirring minimally, until the tuna is warmed through, about 2 minutes.
3 Serve immediately over toast or biscuits. Garnish with additional pepper and dill, if desired. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk to loosen. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
