Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna (packed in olive oil)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 stalk celery, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 pieces sourdough bread slices
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup arugula leaves
- 1 medium-sized tomatoes, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, capers, parsley, lemon juice, celery, red onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the tuna salad is creamy.
Taste the tuna mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed (more salt, pepper, or lemon juice can be added based on preference).
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, onto the skillet.
Spread an even layer of the tuna salad onto the unbuttered side of each slice of bread in the skillet.
Top the tuna salad with arugula leaves and thinly sliced tomatoes.
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of the sandwiches, butter-side up.
Cook the sandwiches for 2–3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your elevated tuna fish sandwich!
