1/2 cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 tablespoons chopped chives

finely shredded zest of 1 lemon

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

8 sardines (1 1/3 lbs. total), cleaned and filleted

4 crusty rolls, split and toasted in oven

about 2 cups lightly packed arugula

8 tomato slices

Preheat oven to 450°. Mix mayo ingredients in a small bowl; chill. Cook bacon until crisp in a 12-in. frying pan, transfer to paper towels, and reserve fat in pan. Cook sardines skin side down in fat (in 2 batches if needed) over medium-high heat until opaque, tipping pan often and spooning fat over fish. Drain fish on paper towels. Spread rolls with parsley chive mayo. Layer arugula, tomatoes, bacon, and sardines in rolls and cut in half.
