6 tablespoons mayonnaise (I use Hellmans)
2 (8 ounce) jars tuna, packed in olive oil, drained. Reserving 1 T of the oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1
See note below for directions on roasted the garlic. Do this before preparing the paninis.
2
Mix the mayo with the 1 Tablespoon of the reserved tuna oil, the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, celery, garlic, parsley, capers and celery seeds. Mix in the tuna. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Toast the sandwiches in a panini press until they are golden and the cheese is melted.

*Note* To roast the garlic, place the unpeeled cloves on a sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Seal the foil and roast the cloves at 300 degrees F. If I'm halving the recipe and only roasting 2 cloves, I roast them for 30 minutes. If you roast the whole garlic bulb it would take about 1 hour. You can always peek at them and touch to see when they are completely tender. let the cloves cool, then squeeze them out of their skins and mash them.
