Aioli and Assembly
Step 2
Whisk egg yolks and garlic in a medium bowl to combine. Combine vegetable oil and ⅓ cup olive oil in a large measuring cup and, whisking constantly, gradually drizzle into yolk mixture; whisk until thickened and emulsified. Stir in lime juice; season with salt.
Step 3
Remove squid from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Let sit until room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
Prepare a grill for high heat. Grill squid until just charred, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly, then slice bodies into rings and halve tentacles.
Step 5
Drizzle bread with olive oil and grill until lightly charred, about 30 seconds per side. Spread aioli over grilled bread and top with squid and parsley; serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
