- Make the Tuna Salad 
- Drain the canned tuna well, pressing out any extra water. Add the tuna to a bowl and mash into small chunks. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, pickle relish, red onion, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. 
- Make the Tuna Melts 
- First, slather one side of 4 slices of bread with butter, and heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, place two of the buttered sides of the bread down on the heated skillet (if you don't have room for two sandwiches at a time, you'll just need to do this in batches). 
- Top each slice with a one slice of American cheese then top with a scoop or two of tuna salad, followed by the provolone cheese. Place the other slices of bread (unbuttered sides touching the tuna and cheese). 
- Gently press down on the sandwiches to encourage toasting. Cover with a lide and cook on one side for a few minutes. Flip the sandwiches and cook a few minutes more, until both sides are golden-brown and the cheese is nice and melty. Slice and serve!
