Ingredients:
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms

1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 limes, juiced
2 green onions, chopped
Directions:

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.
