Assemble the Tuna Melt
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of rye bread. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Top it with a slice of Swiss cheese, then add a generous portion of the prepared tuna salad, followed by another slice of Swiss cheese. Place the second slice of rye bread on top, buttered side up.
