1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Drain the tuna, reserving 2 tablespoons oil.

One at a time, add the sandwiches and cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, the remaining 1/4 cup parsley, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil and the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Cut the tuna melts into wedges. Serve with the arugula salad
