I received a sample of Safe Catch Tune in exchange for this recipe post. Any opinions expressed here are honest and my own.
This fall, are you looking for a fun reason to celebrate a kid favorite? For parents who want to make pizza night a little more nutritious yet unique, there are easy ways to add proten and seafood without changing the flavors kids already enjoy!
Safe Catch has a kid-friendly take with its Tuna Pizza Bites, which combines tuna, mozzarella, tomato paste, basil, parmesan cheese creating a bold pizza flavor with natural protein. The recipe gives parents a simple way to add seafood to a familiar favorite without making it feel like a completely different meal. And Safe Catch tests every tuna for mercury, so parents don’t have to worry about feeding their children a fish that is toxic. Fantastic, right?
Safe Catch sent me over a can to put together this unique recipe and share with our readers! First, here are the ingredients and what you need per their website:

Instructions

SERVING SUGGESTION
Share with family and friends immediately, as these Tuna Pizza Bites are sure to become a family favorite for appetizers, game day, or even with a fresh green salad. Serve with a bowl of marinara sauce for an added kick.
Here’s how ours turned out:
The result? They were pretty good! I will be honest, I was apprehensive about tuna and pizza together, but this is a whole new vibe, and you might be surprised! It’s a don’t knock it until you try it experience. It’s also very easy to make with very few ingredients, as you can see above. It’s definitely worth a try if you are looking for a healthy pizza alternative or just a unique flavor experience.
Just a little extra tip on my end: add a little more mozzarella cheese to really balance out the flavors. That’s what I did, especially if you want to mask a little of the tuna flavor for the picky eaters out there. 😉
I would like to thank the folks over at Safe Catch for sending over a sample of tuna for me and my family to try for the recipe.
