1 sprig dill
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Tuna salad and assembly:
2 5-ounce cans water-packed solid white tuna, drained

Steps:

  • Bread-and-butter pickles:
  • Pack cucumber, habanero, and dill into a heatproof glass jar; set aside. Bring vinegar, sugar, kosher salt, red pepper flakes, celery salt, mustard seeds, coriander, turmeric, and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar and salt, then pour into jar. Cover and let cool; chill.
  • Do ahead: Pickles can be made 2 weeks ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Tuna salad and assembly:
  • Preheat oven to 425°. Mix tuna, celery, cucumber, onion, oil, lemon juice, mustard, chives, dill, celery salt, and 1/4 cup mayonnaise in a medium bowl; season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
  • Place bread on a baking sheet and spread remaining mayonnaise over 4 slices; top with tuna salad and cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 4 minutes. Top melts with lettuce and pickles and close.
