2. Toast the bread, if using, for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
3. Mash the avocado and spread it over one slice of bread, then season lightly with salt.
4. Layer the sardine mixture, arugula, and tomato on top, then close the sandwich with the second slice.
5. Press the sandwich gently, slice in half, and serve immediately while the bread is crisp and the filling is cool.
