Tuna/swordfish Steaks with Thai dressing

I have listed both tuna and swordfish steaks, as both fish work really well with this recipe. This is so quick to make with absolutely no effort but tastes great. It is a very light, healthy meal, so great if your counting calories or carbs.

Ingredients

4 tuna or 4 swordfish steaks ( swordfish steaks can be huge so you may want to buy 2 and cut in half if they are of a generous size.)
1/2 Cup sweet chili sauce
1/3 Cup lime juice
1 Tablespoon fish sauce
2 Teaspoons lemongrass, finely chopped
1/3 Cup fresh mint, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons fresh coriander, finely chopped
1 Teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Method

1. Heat an oiled pan, add fish and cook 3-4 Min’s a side, or until cooked as desired. Tuna steaks are better pink in the middle and not overcooked, as they tend to become dry and quite tough.

2. Combine all the other ingredients in a jar and shake until mixed.
Note. you can adjust sweet chili and lime juice amounts e.g. more or less of each depending on your taste.

To serve place fish on plate drizzle with sauce and serve with salad greens on the side.

Now how quick and easy is that.

Great! I used tuna steaks and served it over a mix green salad with cucumbers and red peppers. For the chili sauces I use Mae Ploy, my absolute favorite. The sauce make the tuna steaks look very nice, since they normally look kind of grey after you cook them. Thank you Flying Chef
