Error with zmq and express

I'm trying to create an API that sends an information obtained by a socket.
To get the information from my socket, I'm using zmq.
The idea is when got the information from the socket, send this info as a response in my API. The following code pretends do that.

[...]
enclaveSocket.on('message', function (message) {

    res_json.info = message.toString('base64');

    res.json(res_json);
});
enclaveSocket.send('chesf:public');
[...]

In the first request to my express API, the return is the expected:

{
  "organization": "my_org",
  "info": "AjCWyQeBNeuMnA3nAUrbprxctrdOgZmjDR5Rmuw6LzzMpALspfNapLMoRGPx9YEGFrqrE5vdHKPb/z0S23i8v"
}

But in the second request my API crashes with the following error:

events.js:160
  throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
  ^

Error: Can't set headers after they are sent.

That's it.

I solved my problem using enclaveSocket.once() instead of enclaveSocket.on().
The once() method removes event listeners when the event is handled by the same function.
