Instructions
Grate the zucchini, toss with salt, then place in a strainer to drain Ideally for a half hour or more.
While the zucchini is draining, make the remoulade. In a small bowl, mix the remoulade ingredients, then store in the refrigerator until fritters are ready
To prepare the fritters, pour off the drained zucchini liquid, then wrap the zucchini in a cloth, twist shut and tighten to further squeeze out water.
Add to the other ingredients and mix until well combined.
Pour a thin layer of oil into a hot skillet over medium heat. Form the zucchini mixture into small patties (large patties will fall apart) and fry until brown on the first side, about 2-3 minutes. Turn carefully (they are delicate), then fry until the second side is brown.
