Caper Tuna Melt

The perfect winter comfort food for the lazy chef. Also, fun fact: all tuna is wild-caught. I usually get Wild Planet, which is pole and line caught and responsibly sourced. They have a no salt added version if you’re watching your sodium.

YOU WILL NEED

  • 1 can tuna

  • 1/2 cup mayo - I used Primal Kitchen and definitely recommend

  • 1 stalk celery

  • 1/4 cup capers

  • 1/4 cup red onion

  • 8 slices sourdough bread

  • 1/2 - 1 block sharp Cheddar cheese - I used Kerrygold grass-fed. I recommend using more cheese and eating half if you’re watching your calories, but don’t skimp on the cheese!

  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

  • 1 tbsp dried dill

Makes 4 sandwiches which can be reheated in the air fryer on 400 for 3 minutes!

WHAT TO DO

  • Chop onion, capers, and celery very finely

  • Mix tuna, mayo, and veggies, and lemon juice

  • Heat a non-stick pan on medium-low (I learned the hard way not to try to speed this up by blasting the heat to high)

  • Add cooking spray to the outside of your bread. Layer tuna mixture with sliced cheese. Cover for 2-3 minutes, flip, and cover for another 2-3 minutes.
