1
First, pat dry the fresh tuna steaks and season with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot non-stick pan over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes each side, depending on your preferred level of cooking. Let it cool, then cut into small chunks.
2
In a bowl, combine the cooled tuna chunks, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, red onion, celery, dill pickle relish, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and mix until well combined.
3
Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise evenly over one side of each sourdough bread slice.
4
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, place two bread slices, mayonnaise-coated side down. Lay a slice of sharp cheddar cheese onto each bread slice in the skillet.
5
Evenly distribute the seasoned tuna mixture onto the cheese slices in the skillet. Add another slice of sharp cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture.
6
Cover the layered ingredients with the remaining slices of bread, placing them mayonnaise-coated side up.
7
Cook the sandwich in the skillet until the bread is golden-brown. Carefully flip to toast the other side until it turns golden-brown and the cheese has melted.
8
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool a bit, then slice in half and serve warm.
