In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, coconut aminos, grated ginger, turmeric, and honey. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil while whisking until the dressing is cohesive and slightly emulsified. Set aside.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the mushrooms in a single layer — work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding — and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, until the undersides are golden brown.
