Steps:
- Shred the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater or in a food processor fitted with the shredding disk. Transfer the zucchini to a fine mesh strainer and set over a bowl. Toss the zucchini with the salt and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wring all of the excess liquid out of the zucchini with your hands, then set aside.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Mix in the dried zucchini, scallions, dill, feta, garlic and black pepper. Sprinkle the flour (or corn starch) and baking powder over mixture and stir until uniformly incorporated.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drop 2-tablespoon sized portions into the pan, then use the back of a spoon to gently press the batter into 2-inch-wide fritters. Pan-fry until golden brown on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate. Add a bit more oil to the pan if necessary, then repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm or room temperature with lemon wedges.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cooked fritters can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat them on a cookie sheet in a 200°F oven until heated through.

Steps:
- Line a big bowl with paper towels. Grate the zucchini in the prepared bowl, do one zucchini at a time, then strain all of the water from them using paper towels. Alternatively, you can place the grated zucchini in a colander over the sink, and add about a tsp of salt to the zucchini. Gently toss, then using paper towels, drain the zucchini.
- In a large bowl add the grated zucchini, provolone cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, onion, dill, eggs and season with salt and pepper. I usually don't add any salt because there should be enough sodium from the cheese. Mix really well.
- In a skillet heat about a tablespoon of the vegetable oil. You can either form patties or use a spoon to drop small amounts of the zucchini mixtures to the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry on both sides until golden brown, then repeat with remaining zucchini mixture/patties.
- Serve warm by themselves or with ranch dressing.

SALMON WITH CREAMY DILL SAUCE
There's nothing like fresh salmon, and my mom bakes it just right so it nearly melts in your mouth. The sour cream dill sauce is subtly seasoned with horseradish so that it doesn't overpower the delicate salmon flavor. -Susan Emery, Everett, Washington

Tips:
- To ensure the zucchini patties hold their shape and cook evenly, it's crucial to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini. This can be done using a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel.
- For a crispier exterior, consider coating the patties in breadcrumbs before pan-frying. This adds a delightful crunch and golden-brown color.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to enhance the flavor of the zucchini patties. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version of the dill dip, substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream for the mayonnaise.
- To save time, prepare the zucchini patties and dill dip ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, simply reheat the patties in a pan or oven and whisk together the dip.
