  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 can of wild-caught tuna with 2 tablespoons of mayo, and add in finely chopped red or yellow onion. Sprinkle in a pinch of kosher salt, black pepper, and ½ teaspoon of paprika. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir everything together until well blended and creamy.
