You fix them by not making them.

Fish and cheese DO NOT go together.

>>14763610
based red onion

id change out the cheddar for some shredded parm

Use provolone cheese.

>>14763618
Cool opinion bro.

Could I add spices?

Replace mayo with guac

What about Sriracha?

Kewpie mayo, Celery, experiment with different cheeses

>>14763610
>can of good quality tuna chunks
>red onion
>mayo

Add dill relish to the mix. If you hate pickles, add celery. Mustard is also good to mix. Cayenne is also good to mix. Hot sauce is also good to mix.

>>14763610
Add capers

>>14763618
ok

Tuna melts are best done open faced under the broiler.

>tuna melt
>light meal
jesus, I can never finish more than half a tuna melt personally.
Anyway, I like onion powder in my tuna, although maybe the red onion is enough. Celery salt could be good too.
Since you’re using cheddar, you might be able to add some american cheese or just some sodium citrate to make it melt better.

You can quick pickle your red onions with a bit of sherry vinegar; maybe go 50/50 pickled and unpickled.

Replace a bit of sour cream for your mayo, a 1:2 ratio, respectively. You can also add soft cheeses in your tuna salad as well, shredded of course.

Top with your hard/semi-soft cheese and broil it.

Hope that takes your tuna melt up a level.

dill relish is a good idea, I'm wary of hot sauces, fish plus cheese plus hot sauce sounds a bit way out.

Mix a little Sriracha powder in with the mayo, don't go mad with it.

do people really truly unironically give a fuck about what other people eat? seems a bit silly tbqh

>>14763742
this. use mild tasting cheeses.

>>14763625
Not the right kind of cheese for a tuna melt.
>>14763618
Tuna melts are godly, only fools don't see this.

Dill relish (not a sweeter relish) or diced up baby pickles (whatever people call the 1.5 inch long tiny ones), capers, celery is there partially for the texture and to help fill out the mix are all good suggestions.

I would try to make something like this but add some kimchi and some muenster cheese. And just try to make a bomb tuna salad.

season tuna with fish sauce

I add a sliced up raw jalapeno and sometimes a little bit of diced tomato

>>14763610
Use havarti instead of cheddar

>>14763610
Celery, that and celery salt, garlic too.

>>14763610
I'll give you some ideas anon. With your tuna and cheese add, feel free to adjust:
>sweet chilli sauce
>baby spinach

Or
>sliced large or cherry tomato if you have time

Or
>paprika relish

Or
>gherkins or sweet balsamic
>egg
>mustard

>>14763610
You should also put it on an English muffin, a proper tuna melt is on English muffin halves.

What you making here a tuna melt or some faggot san franciso faggy treat?
KISS Keep it Simple Stupid. It's just a tuna melt.

>>14763610
Tuna doesn't "melt" you fat cunt

>>14767267
No but the cheese does you daft cunt.

>>14767266
This.

Man, drained tuna, drained giardiniera, touch of mayo, touch of Grey Poupon salt and freshly cracked pepper has changed my life. I usually toast some nice multigrain bread with some melted cheese (American, Cheddar, Provolone, etc) no chopping veggies, all the texture and flavor. Damn you I want this now.

>how do I make a fucking mom recipe made for housewives to use canned dogshit and goverment cheese good


I think you're missing the point.

>>14763610
Try some sriracha mayo or yum yum sauce. That livened mine up pretty good. Also dill relish.

>>14766274
Tiny pickles are called ghurkins

>>14768293
Or instead of relish you can try a bit of sauerkraut

>>14763610
Chef John's recipe is really good:

>ghurkins
Technically a gherkin is a specific variety of cucumber and not all tiny pickles are from that variety so while they are likely gherkins it isn't 100%.

>>14763610
Make sure the cheddar is tangy.
Instead of toasting and grilling, fry it in a pan with butter (butter the outside of the bread before placing in the pan). Squash it down with a spatula whilst frying. Do this hot, but not too hot so the cheese melts before the bread cooks.

>>14763610
Firstly, cheddar needs to be deli American slices, full stop. Only way to achieve melt god-mode.

Second, your tuna recipe needs help. Dukes mayo, finely chopped dill, one lemon wedge squeezed, red onion, salt and tiny bit of pepper. Chop up tuna a bit (you want some larger chunks and some smaller chunks) then mix in all of those ingredients I listed.

I like putting it on a sourdough english muffin open faced, but your two bread choices aren't necessarily bad.

Enjoy my friend.

OK bud just mix the tuna with the mayo diced carrots green onion and lemon rind...yes scrape the skin from a lemon then mix it....then you need tillamook cheddar and some sourdough bread
