This is so fresh and tasty - I make it alot in the summer.....
I don't know if you try this one or not .First you fry onion with some garlic and 1 cup chop fresh coriander and some spice,salt.Then after you cooked this well you can add tuna, its depend to your family if you are more than 3 you can add more than 2 tuna.Then put it aside and cooke some rice and when your rice it hasn't very cooked yet put the tuna you already cooked inside the rice and let it cook slowly until when you see the rice has cooked.After that you can mix it and serve .
Tuna, Lemon, and Caper Sauce (Sounds weird, but is easy and really good. I add some crushed red pepper flakes and serve with bow-tie pasta.) http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe鈥?/a>





Tuna salad made with Kraft Wasabi Mayo and about one t of soy sauce is great. Bonus points if you toss in some minced cucumber, and I've considered adding jicama, but never have it just laying around so...





Tuna cakes are a staple at my house. We go a short-cut route usually and just mix the tuna with some stove-top stuffing, an egg, and some minced green onion or chopped bell pepper until it's the right consitancy then pan fry it. Great with Tiger Sauce and Black Beans and Rice.





Tuna Noodle Casserole is an old stand by.





Pita's are good, though I never use sweet pickles in mine: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe鈥?/a>





A good variation on tuna melts is to roll out some Pillsbury Crescent Roll triangles and roll the filling up in those and bake. Kind of a Pigs in a Blanket concept.
I agree with Jess. Tuna cakes are awesome!
I share your love of tuna. One of the recipes I remember from my childhood is tuna and noodles. Boil up a fourth of a 1# bag of noodles to al dente. Drain the noodles and return them to the pot. Open and drain a can of tuna (2 would be better) and add to the noodles. Open a can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup and add to the pot (DO NOT add any additional liquid) along with a few generous pats of butter. Salt and pepper to taste. Return the pot to the burner with the heat between medium and low and heat, stirring as it heats. You can now either put the mixture into a casserole dish and top with cracker crumbs and bake, or you can just eat it with some vegs on the side.





Another way I like it is a variation of cod cakes, clam cakes, salmon cakes, or ? cakes. Mix tuna with bread crumbs, an egg, diced onion, and s/p. Form into patties, and fry. HEAVEN!!!!!!
