Drain water or oil from tuna; fork tuna into a medium bowl.
Chop onion, celery, and parsley; mince garlic; add ingredients to the tuna.
Add mayonnaise, olive oil and cheese. Combine all ingredients until well incorporated. Salt and pepper, to taste.
Place a non-stick skillet on the stove; add 1 T. olive oil; when skillet is hot, take a slice of bread and generously spread butter on one side; place bread buttered side down in hot skillet. Scoop about 2 T. tuna salad on the bread while it is browning. Butter another slice of bread and place non-buttered side on top of tuna. Use a spatula to check if bread is toasted brown; if it is, flip tuna melt over; grill until golden brown.
