Open and drain 2 cans of tuna, being careful of sharp edges.

In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Mix all ingredients together until well combined.

Prepare to make 2 sandwiches, storing the rest of the mixture for later use.

Spread the tuna mixture on one slice of bread and cover with another slice.

Repeat with a second sandwich.

If desired, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan to toast the sandwiches.

Place the sandwich in the pan and toast for 1-2 minutes on one side until golden brown.

Flip the sandwich and toast for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

Remove from the pan and serve immediately.
