INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia, halved
  • kosher salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 2 green onions, chopped

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place dried porcini mushrooms in a small bowl with enough warm water to cover. Soak 20 minutes, or until rehydrated, and chop.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place tilapia in the skillet, and season with kosher salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1/2 the lemon zest. Pour half the lime juice over the tilapia, and continue cooking 5 minutes.
