Prep
Soak sliced red onion in cold water with vinegar splash 3 minutes, drain, pat dry. Mash drained tuna with chopped capers, 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and parsley until chunky. Wash and dry rocket leaves.
Toast
Heat pan over medium heat 1 minute. Brush ciabatta cut sides with 2 tbsp olive oil (about 1 tbsp per roll). Toast cut-side down 90 seconds until lightly golden and crisp, working in batches if needed.
Build
Lay toasted ciabattas open. Sprinkle bottom halves with dried oregano. Spread tuna mixture evenly over bottom halves. Layer sliced tomato with pinch of salt, then drained red onion, then rocket leaves on each sandwich.
Plate
Press top halves of ciabattas down firmly. Cut diagonally and serve immediately while bread is warm and rocket is fresh.
