Preheat the broiler on your oven to high.

Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it into a medium bowl.
Step 3
Add the mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the bowl with the tuna. Mix everything together until well combined.

Lightly butter the cut sides of the English muffin halves if desired, and place them on a baking sheet with the cut sides facing up.
