Preheat oven to low broil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the halved submarine rolls on the sheet with the cut side facing up.

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and kosher salt. Brush the cut side of each roll half with the butter mixture. Toast in the oven for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
