Step 1
Grate zucchini and place in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to release moisture.
Step 2
Squeeze zucchini firmly with paper towels to remove excess liquid.

Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Form zucchini mixture into patties about 3 inches wide. Carefully place in hot oil, working in batches to avoid crowding.
