KING'S HAWAIIAN TUNA MELT SUPREME
As far as tuna melts go, this one is pretty amazing. It may be a bit messy, but it's very tasty. The base of the sandwich is sweet Hawaiian bread cut into thick slices and buttered. We liked the tuna salad itself - it has many textures and flavors. When it cooks, the melted cheese holds everything in. This seems very fancy,...

GRILLED TUNA BURGERS WITH SPICY MAYO
Steps:
- Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and egg to a large mixing bowl. Mix well, then fold in the tuna, red bell pepper and scallions. Mix well to coat everything evenly. Sprinkle with salt and fold in the panko breadcrumbs to lightly bind everything. Carefully form the mixture into 4 even-size patties and set on a platter. Refrigerate so the patties firm up and hold their shape when cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Coat the pan with a little vegetable oil and cook the tuna patties 3 minutes per side (when done, the patties will be browned on the outside and medium-rare in the center).
- Grill the hamburger buns over high heat until well charred and crispy.
- Serve the tuna burgers slathered with the Spicy Sriracha Mayo, lettuce leaves and tomato slices on the toasted, seeded hamburger buns, paired with the dry Riesling.
- Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Sriracha, sesame oil, lemon juice, honey and scallions in a large mixing bowl. Stir well to combine, season with salt and pepper and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
HAWAIIAN TUNA SALAD
I developed this recipe when I had a catering business. Was great for bridal and baby showers. Was also a great way to get my children to eat tunafish, especially with the apple and pineapple adding some sweetness to the tuna

Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna: Opt for solid white albacore tuna packed in water or oil. Avoid tuna that is packed in brine, as it will have a higher sodium content.
- Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings is best. Some good options include sourdough, French bread, or a hearty whole-wheat bread.
- Add moisture to your sandwich: If your tuna salad is a bit dry, add a little mayonnaise, sour cream, or Greek yogurt to help bind the ingredients together.
- Don't skimp on the vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, crunch, and nutrients to your sandwich. Some good options include celery, onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
- Season your sandwich to taste: Salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice can help to enhance the flavors of your sandwich.
