- 3 tablespoons Lime juice

Instructions
Pat dry the tuna and swordfish steaks with paper towels.
Brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, red chili, minced garlic, chopped coriander, thinly sliced shallot, and grated ginger. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is combined. Set aside.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the tuna and swordfish steaks on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle the Thai dressing generously over the grilled steaks.
Garnish with lime wedges and sprinkle with thinly sliced spring onions before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tuna Swordfish Steaks with Thai Dressing!
