Pescatarian Classic Garlic Bread
Few things at the table are as universally beloved as a perfectly golden, garlicky slice of bread fresh from the oven. This version keeps it beautifully simple — a crusty baguette slathered with a compound butter made from real garlic, fresh flat-leaf parsley, and a touch of salt and pepper, then finished under the broiler until bubbling and irresistible. The optional Parmesan adds a savory, slightly nutty edge that takes the whole thing to another level. Since this recipe is built entirely from straightforward pantry staples and dairy, it fits naturally into a pescatarian lifestyle without any substitutions or workarounds needed. The broiler does the heavy lifting in just a few minutes, giving you those gorgeous caramelized edges and a soft, buttery interior that store-bought garlic bread simply cannot compete with. Serve it alongside a bowl of pasta, a seafood stew, or honestly anything that deserves a great supporting act — it disappears fast either way.
