Openface sardine sandwich / other uses for sardines?

[steorra]

I have discovered that I like this simple openface sardine sandwich moderately well.

Ingredients
2 slices of bread
1 tin of sardines packed in olive oil
A little lemon juice

Instructions
Toast two slices of bread.
Open tin of sardines, remove sardines with fork and put them on the toast.
Split sardines down the middle so they're closer to flat, and arrange them on the slices of toast.
Put a little lemon juice in a spoon (so as not to accidentally pour too much onto the food) and drizzle it over the sardines.

I don't love it, but I like it well enough that it's a convenient quick meal, especially when trying to avoid dairy and non-fish meat.

Any other suggestions for quick and simple things that can be done with sardines, or minimal-effort ways this simple sandwich could be varied?

Grill them.

How do you do that?

Since you said they're packed in olive oil, I'd just use a variant of http://www.foodrepublic.com/2012/04/19/grilled-sardines-charred-lemon-chiles, http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Grilled-Fresh-Sardines-with-Fennel-and-Preserved-Lemon-238421, http://www.wholeliving.com/130379/grilled-sardines-over-wilted-baby-arugula, http://www.ivillage.com/simple-grilled-sardines/3-r-64525, http://www.cookstr.com/recipes/grilled-sardines. (Last 2 are plain grilled seasoned sardines, others are fancier, with veggies and garnish.)

If you feel in an adventurous mood, you can wrap the seasoned sardines in aluminum foil and use dry pine needles to grill them, but that's better done in a cooking pit on a windless day, with a garden hose standing by, as this can cause pine needle embers {which are very light) to disperse otherwise.
