Today is Day 3 of our One Month Grocery Shopping Strike. This is what I made for lunch today using my “cupboard cooking” strategies.
I love tuna melts, but wanted to kick it up with an exotic flare…Enter: cilantro & lime!
Instead of making grilled cheese sandwiches, I decided to make a tuna melt open-face sandwich.
You make a basic tuna salad kicked up with cilantro & lime and get it into the oven…
You could also use salmon as a great substitute for tuna, but I suggest using a more tart cheese such as chevre or a gorgonzola to cut the rich flavor of the salmon.
Type: Fish Recipe
Serve With: Soup as a side, if desired
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 4 min
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients:
- 1 can tuna

- 1 1/2 tbsp cilantro – chopped
- juice of 1/4 lime
- 3 dashes cayenne pepper

- Combine all ingredients except cheese in bowl.
- Toast bread in toaster before piling tuna on evenly.
- Broil in oven or toaster oven for approximately 4 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
