Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise and place the halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread halves and set aside.
Drain the canned tuna and place it in a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into small pieces.
Add the mayonnaise, black pepper, onion powder, and salt to the tuna. Mix until fully combined.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the buttered bread halves.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the tuna layer, followed by a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and browned to your liking.
Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and let cool for a few minutes.
Slice the garlic bread into smaller pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
