Ingredients

2 slices sourdough bread , or use your favorite bread
1 tablespoon salted butter , to toast bread
1 tin canned sardines packed in oil 3.75oz
½ cucumber
1 whole beef steak tomato
3 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 ½ teaspoon sriracha or another hot sauce
1 stalk green onion , diced

Instructions

Start by slathering the salted butter on the bread and toast to your liking.
While the bread is toasting, whip up the spicy mayo sauce. In a small bowl, add the mayo and hot sauce, I like to use sriracha. Mix until well combined.
Slice cucumbers thinly, and the beef steak tomato. Open the tin of sardines and drain excess oil.
To the toast, add a good slather of sauce, then top with cucumber, then tomato slices. Using a fork, carefully scoop the sardines from the tin and top them to the sandwich. Sprinkle diced green onions to top.
Top with a squeeze of lemon or hot sauce, is optional.
If you prefer to close the sandwich, then top with another piece of toast with sauce on it.

Notes

VARIATIONS

Substitute sourdough for another bread.

Use Dijon mustard instead of sriracha for a mild sauce.
