Directions
Step 1
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).

Spread an even layer of the tuna salad onto the unbuttered side of each slice of bread in the skillet.
Step 6
Top the tuna salad with arugula leaves and thinly sliced tomatoes.
Step 7
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of the sandwiches, butter-side up.
Step 8
Cook the sandwiches for 2–3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing in half.
