Nitrate & Nitrite Free Mediterranean Tuna Steaks with Tomatoes, Olives & Green Beans

Bright, briny, and built entirely from whole ingredients, this sheet pan dinner is the kind of weeknight meal that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. Tuna steaks get rubbed with a fragrant paste of garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and lemon zest before roasting alongside blistered cherry tomatoes, tender green beans, and Kalamata olives — no cured meats, no processed additions, nothing that doesn't belong. That matters more than it might seem, because so many convenient proteins and pantry staples quietly contain added nitrates or nitrites as preservatives, making a clean, satisfying dinner harder to pull off than it should be. Here, every ingredient is straightforward and naturally free of those additives, so you can focus on flavor instead of label-reading. The high oven heat does the heavy lifting, coaxing sweetness out of the tomatoes and a gorgeous sear onto the fish while everything cooks together on a single pan. A final squeeze of fresh lemon and a scatter of parsley tie the whole thing together with a pop of brightness. It's Mediterranean cooking at its most unfussy — bold, colorful, and genuinely good for you.
