OK, seriously... I don't eat canned tuna, but I do have The Flavor Bible (basically a list-style book that polled a bunch of chefs for good flavor combos). So here's the ingredients they list as "classic" flavor combinations with tuna:
chile peppers
chives
cilantro
garlic
ginger
lemon
lime
oil
onions
parsley
pepper
salt
scallions
sesame (oil and seeds)
soy sauce
thyme tomatoes
vinegar
Here are some of the flavor affinities (cross-references so all ingredients play well together):
tuna + aioli + capers + tomatoes
tuna + anchovies + green beans + olives + potatoes
tuna + arugula + bacon
tuna + avocado + ginger + radish
tuna + avocado + lemon + soy sauce
tuna + beets + lemon
tuna + black pepper + cilantro + cucumber + soy sauce
tuna + cilantro + cumin
tuna + cilantro + dill + mint
tuna + cucumber + ginger + miso + shiso
tuna + fennel + fennel pollen
tuna + ginger + mustard
tuna + ginger + vinaigrette
tuna + jalapeno chile + cilantro + ginger + sesame oil + shallots + soy sauce
tuna + lemon + olive oil + tomatoes + watercress
tuna + sesame + wasabi
